Dahl is annoyed that people – including children – watch too much television. Do you agree, or disagree? Why, or why not?

उत्तर
Yes I agree. Television dulls the senses and one behaves like a zombie. I share Roald Dahl’s judgement about the television set & its morbid shows that are turning our young generation into zombies where thinking is concerned. Values, morals and ethics are thrown into the dustbin & bizarre information provided by the media is being constantly chewed & digested by children these days…and also by adults at times…if not all the time.
A person who watches television all day loses the capacity to think. Dahl believed that young people need to experience life to really grow and thrive. He was concerned that watching too-much television worked against actualizing a child’s potential. Dahl believed that young people need to experience life to really grow and thrive.

As a result, their imagination suffers and they later become sceptical in thinking that what they cannot see is not real.
