Counter-arguments

3. Television is to blame for the fact that children take longer to learn to read these days and barely see the point at all of acquiring the skill.
4. Television takes up too much of our time. We no longer have enough time for hobbies, entertaining activities, and other outside amusements like theatres, cinemas, sports, etc.

10. Television prevents people from communicating with each other. It has done a lot of harm to the relationship between family members.
