When watching TV, you have countless options at your disposal and cannot be stranded. It has a variety of channels offering quality programs in various areas of learning, and entertainment, and is well suited for every mood.
TV has a broad audience
In a typical Black home, especially in Africa, there are restrictions regarding the gadgets one can use. Personally, my parents made sure I didn’t have a mobile phone till I finished high school – but I always had the TV!
Television benefits a remarkably broad audience – the young and old, busy and free, workers and surely, the unemployed! It is one constant that thrives when other sources of entertainment may be unavailable.
TV brings people together
It encourages socialization. When watching TV, you’re more likely to be with someone or even a group of individuals. The TV doesn’t only entertain you from the screen but also does so by bringing you closer to others, offering a sense of community.
