this excerpt is about watching television cannot educate people is written by Paul Robinson. this is because television is for entertainment, not educate. besides that, education take two ways of communication. it is really different with education. Television gives the viewers numerous of information. The information sometimes is indecisive. Therefore, it is hard for the viewers too decide whether the information they get are fact or opinion from others. Information from television is hard to memorize. It is because it cannot repeat the scene if we are not focusing while watch it. Viewer also can remember the informative info for a while. Learning process takes places when they understand information, but not memorize it. Peoples cannot focus where there are requires two elements which is entertainment and education takes place. TV programmed will distract human mind when they try to learn something. Television is a matter of time and entertains, not educates. Instead of that,television programmed also contains lots of information at the same time. It’s blurry the viewer knowledge to grab which information they should keep in their mind. This situation pressure the viewer on how to memorize the information and peoples tends to make television as a reference in news, not learning process. ^_^
