Television is not the problem, but people are.

Some people think that television has ruined communication among friends and family. I disagree.

If we accept their argument, we would have to admit that almost anything enjoyable can ruin communication, right?

I believe that we should not blame external factors for the problem, but the people who are addicted to them. If television can destroy communication, then maybe many other things can do it too, such as video games, smartphones, or even one's girlfriend/boyfriend. That's absurd!

The root cause of this situation is that some people cannot control themselves. They are so addicted to something that they ignore socializing. If we want to solve the problem, we should help the people.
