TV in Japan

TV is very important for us. TV has high technology, TV has many programs, TV is influential with us. I will introduce about TV.

Technology
Analog color television broadcast: It is broadcasted from 1953. It is going to be gone off the air on July 24, 2011.

Terrestrial digital television broadcast: It started broadcast on December 1, 2003. All television becomes the terrestrial digital broadcast by 2011. We must change the television which terrestrial digital broadcasting. If you use the television which supports only analog broadcasting, you have to connect a new tuner.

A thin-screen TV: It is the television which used flat-panel display. The former television used a cathode-ray tube. However, depth becomes big as television becomes the big screen. It has a lot of good points. For example, we can put this thin-screen in any kind of place. It has low consumption electricity. It is longer life.

Programs

There are many programs on TV. For example, there are music program, news program, animation, entertainment, and so on. My favorite TV is Cartoon Net Work. It is an animation channel in America. It is broadcasted only cartoon. The broadcast was started in 1997 in Japan. My favorite works are Dexter's Laboratory(upper left photograph), The Powerpuff Girls(upper right photograph) The animation is so interesting!! Many Japanese animations were broadcasted in Cartoon Net Work. For example, ‘Attack NO.1’ and ‘Anpanman’ was broadcasted.

Influence on people

TV gives us very big influence. There are good influence and bad influence. TV produces much trend. Some people change the mind, because they are influenced by an entertainer appearing on television. TV changes a sense for the right and wrong and outlook on ethic, outlook on verge of death. Girls imitate the fashion of a talent appearing on TV.
The recent child has too much time to spend it on video game. What kind of influence on child is there? If a child watches the television which there is a lot of violence scene, it is too dangerous. The child may not think that violence is bad. I think that the influence that television gives to a child is very big.

Conclusion

People like watching TV. I like watching TV, too. TV is very important for us. We are always watching TV. TV has a various influence on us. Japanese watch TV for 4 hours in a day. On Sunday, they watch TV more than 5 hours in a day. It is average. Don’t you think it is too much time? TV gives us many things. We get much information from TV, TV makes us interesting. But, I think people spend too much time for watching TV. I think I have to study, go out, and do something instead of watching TV. The development of the television will be pushed forward steadily. Television may become more and more important for us. But we must be careful to watching too much television.
