Has television lost its relevance??

I seem to think so. Nowadays, there isn’t quality content like there used to be. Before this whole stream of reality shows, violence, adult content, coarse language, discretion advised warnings and the string of nothing but bad news has been broadcasted and I just cannot seem to watch anymore of it.

I probably spend about an hour or 2 a week watching television with the exception of a few special shows which make me tune in a bit longer, however after that it becomes boring, repetitive and then my TV is shut off. A lot of bad influences come from television and the shows being produced now.

Things that teens, children, youth and young adults are tuning in and that is where it becomes dangerous. They think and see it on television, so they thing its alright to do it in real life.


Back before even the , early 90’s, you’d see great quality family values always being implemented, you’d see clean and very well thought of shows that you never got bored of, people were entertained for hours watching their favourite icons play their part, you’d see appropriate clothing, appropriate topics discussed and teaching life lessons to people of all walks of life, things that never offended or hurt anyone, shows that are still discussed up until today from people who grew up in those years.


There is just a couple of good things that are on television now, like the game shows and a few of those award shows, and special events. That is all I tune into.

Do you think that TV has certainly changed in the last 20-25 years? I think so. I think it is getting worse and not better. I am glad the TV show reruns are showing at least.
Do you give yourself a time limit to watch?
I’d rather do something more productive like writing, communicating with friends and family, going out, cleaning, cooking, goi, going out seeing people, reading, being on the internet and learning so many new things, making new friends online, and so much more.
Do you watch television much? Do you tend to stay away from it?
What are your thoughts

Oh yes!
Thanks to YOUTUBE. . . and NL!!!

yep dats trye...dey are many erotic shows on tv dat should'nt be viewed by younger aydiences e.g BBA

Before now, people watch TV to keep abreast of the news but now with internet enabled devices, people can simply search for current happenings on the go.
Also many people watched TV because of the shows(dramas) they air and TV was the only way to get those shows. But now thanks to the internet, people download these shows and watch them on their computers and mobile devices.

About the things been shown on TV now, it is a reflection of how morals in the society have gradually declined. There is a shift from emphasis on simple ways of life to emphasis on pursuit of vanity with celebrities been displayed with their extravagant and often non-exemplary lifestyle being portrayed as the ideal life to live.

TV will however continue to be a part of our lives for a long time to come.

nothing that man does that won't fade away....TV hasn't really lost relevance but it has changed drastically from building morals to reducing morals

Op,you are right.

Can't remember when last I sit in my sitting room to watch tv alone,except if fiancee is around.

She love AM-yoruba,so am always forced to watch with her.

Whenever she isn't around,I would be nairalanding than watching tv.

Na internet these days ooo. What keeps me glued to television are documentaries,but these days, you get loads of them on youtube.T.V is gradually losing its relevance.

okay

Television hasn't lost relevance however, it has been used as a tool by the good, the bad and the ugly.

I don't think so

What is the use of a TV wen i av a smart phone?

I'd be on my phone than sit down watch uninteresting contents from both local and foreign tv channels

YeS I watch Gotv

Even the news are full of bad news.










CHECK MY SIGNATURE!!! GET RID OF STRETCH MARKS!!!

ok

Hmmm

Of course yes! and that is because they have very little to offer again.Is it NTA that is now a political tool you want me to watch?.

Well it depends on what the viewer is viewing.

No, TV can never lose relevance. There are different tv stations / programmes suited for each individual personalities.

I think you are the very conservative type. Stations like NTA and LTv might suit you if u reside in lag or u have satellite installed. The world is dynamic,tv stations are too

Your own prayer na for people to dey get stretch marks?
More stretch marks = More money.

TV ke? When I neva make money?

I share your views op, these days they are either scenes of violence or of half nùde women calling themselves 'sexy' because all they want to do is to make money even when their brains are empty and not even good as an actress .They are therefore easy target for film makers who think it is those nonentities one wish to watch, neglecting those western pörn movies.
These days conflicts spring up faster than they are being solved; this makes watching stations like CNN a death trap for feeble minds. Howbeit, there are still a bunch of interesting and pro family channels you can watch, making your reasons for seldom watching television your cup of tea .

Good topic , disagree with the write up.
