Positive aspect of impact of Television:
(i) Television programmes are most informative and educative if we watch programmes like UGC programmes, quiz programmes and also group discussions. Thus, we can say that it is a medium for acquiring information, knowledge and understanding.
(ii) Now-a-days, everywhere in our country, Hindi has become a household language. Every one starts speaking Hindi besides one's own mother tongue whether it is Oriya, Bengali or Telugu. This is only because of regular television watching. We can mix freely with others, exchange our views and ideas with other people other than our own groups. Television is thus the need for strengthening contacts with family, friends and others.
(iii) It satisfies our need to know what is going on in and around the world. Television reveals dresses of different communities, food of people from south India to north India and also the rituals and religious practices of people from different corners of the country.
(iv) Television is the source of entertainment to people of all categories. It provides company for the lonely, aged, and housewives. It gives topics for conversation to members of the family staying at home. For the working people it's a tension-release mechanism, affording an easy diversion from problems and from routines of life.
(v) Today, television focuses on the Indian family and marriage system, Indian culture and emphasizes a great deal of sharing and tolerance. Its Institutions of marriage and family have strengthened this notion. The joint family system nourished these values. Tele serials provide models and values that we can identify with or use as a point of comparison. Thus, we can say, television is a need for self-confidence, stability and reassurance.
