Television Technology and Society: An Essay on Enrichment vs. Division

This essay examines the multifaceted impact of television technology on society, arguing that while it offers benefits such as increased access to information and diverse cultural perspectives, it also contributes to societal division through potential addiction, the spread of misinformation, and the erosion of face-to-face interactions. The report considers the evolving nature of television with the advent of HD resolution and streaming services like Netflix, which have further integrated television into daily life. It also contrasts the positive aspects of knowledge dissemination with the negative effects of social isolation and mental health concerns. Ultimately, the essay concludes that television technology presents a complex duality, both enriching and impoverishing society, and emphasizes the importance of individual responsibility in navigating its influence.

Do you think that the current
state of television technology
has enriched society or left
society poorer and more
divided?

CURRENT STATE OF TELEVISION TECHNOLOGY HAS ENRICHED
SOCIETY OR LEFT SOCIETY POORER AND MORE DIVIDED?
When it is a technology then it will have an impact over different areas of existence. There are
certain changes that are being amended in life and therefore technology is seen streaming over
the entire sector that are ranging from services to mobile devices (Bennett and Strange, 2011).
Over several years there has been a conception that is being oriented with respect to technology
and the deriving changes and change management are said to be the imaginable conditions that
are brought about by various devices that are being established. Various innovations have taken
for the in regard to the organisation as well as their cultural upliftment. There are several areas
that are being affected with the usage of television and are also brought about by viewership that
are at times reported to be the several impact towards people and their existence (Boddy, 2004).
People are more towards consuming the essence of every technology in the right possible manner
at there are instances where certain things will become a transition that cannot be overcome.
Television is regarded to be one of the regular component in a day today life and people are more
towards viewing the daily updates that are pertaining in the world with respect to the news that is
being displayed. It is not just being used for entertainment purposes but also there are several
factors that are associated like that of important features that are happening around the world.
This has got a major impact because people that are striving hard for their excellence are using it
on positive terms whereas some entertainment criteria are always dealing with negativity

(Hesmondhalgh, 2013). On an average it is being estimated that person spends almost 50 hours
with respect to watching television. This is one of the biggest impact that can be explained
because it has become a part of day to day existence and that has been one of the hardest part of
survival. There are various new technologies like that of Netflix subscription that are mostly
associated with several broadband and that has brought about a kind of enthusiasm in the midst
of people and this made them close to televisions. This is being increased over and over again
with respect to the years and the such that various technologies are coming into existence
(Bourdon and Meadel, 2014). Earlier tv used to be with a minimal technology and maximum
output. This their televisions are coming forth with respect to the smart technologies that are
oriented to draw attention of people and that is the one of the attractive means of dealing with
circumstances that are pertaining with people around. Watching programs and making it as a
factor of entertainment is one of the live streaming facts that is being considered with respect to
people (Johnson, 2019).
Certain programs are designed in such a way that will bring enthusiasm and midst of people that
are watching. The technologies that are oriented with television and its manufacture will derive
this resolution to a prominent means and the one that is pertaining these days is a HD resolution
(Curran and Seaton, 2018). Televisions are made with respect to the HD resolution and they are
brought forth with the mechanism of uplifting the choices of the admirers of television that is
deriving their standards. This HD resolutions are portraying the image to such an extent that is
the bringing about the picture and the quality which are being defined by several brands. There
are various alternatives for television that our existing in the present world because technology
has reached the perk of being the best and the content is being ensure that all levels. There are
multiple platforms that can be portrayed upon visualising the means of entertainment but still the
technologies that are oriented with television a remaining as a new branch of dealings and this is
the reason why many of the companies are there arriving televisions to be one of those mart
products these days (Lotz, 2014).
Television makes better understanding but on the basis of recent market trend many people use
other technological tools which highly influence social life because they not believe in
communicate with her parents and not consider asking questions to their seniors. So its clear that
changes and diversification in technological tools highly affects social culture effectiveness
(Curtin, 2007). Various Technologies that are in regard to the television and its uses are

impacting day-to-day existence where people are more dependent upon the fact that these
technologies are inspiring and also bring about the captivity in their lifestyle. Over a decade from
here people will be more prone to technological implementations and they will strive more into
excellence upon dealing with the usages as well as the incorporation of different means. This can
impact the mental well-being of people with respect to their health and also can be one of the
deteriorating factor that will impact the cause of every analysis. Human mind is mostly absorbent
to situations that are more attractive and therefore this particular Technologies have got a
resolution in order to deteriorate as well as a mental stability (Curtin, Holt and Sanson, 2014).
Their mind get ranged to such factors that will make them so addictive towards televisions and
their prominence and therefore this is the one of the functionality that will fall as a factor of
negativity (Lunt and Livingstone, 2012). It will surely impact the well being of people because
the kind of Technologies that are being imposed upon television are more Radiant towards the
existence and life will be at risk.
Sometimes this television Technologies will also include an addictive measure that will make
people not to stay without them. This is because there are certain formulation that are being
taken forth by the organisations in order to make sure that people incorporate their standards in
their life and their well-being (Hallin and Mancini, 2012).. The entertainment channels as well as
the subscriptions are increasing their today and this defines how far people are more prominent
towards the fact that existing world scenario will have to be witnessed. Although it is a
considerable fact that people will have to understand what is happening around yet there are
certain implications that will fall in regard to usage of a television Technologies. There has been
an extra dramatic scenario that is being taken place in a disruptive technology that is assumed to
be one of the deteriorating factor which was experience as a part of everyone's life ( Doyle,
2013).
All perceptions are not the same. Some might be taking these Technologies for granted and can
be affected in a more negative manner. This will bring about a list adaptation towards the
policies of Technology distributing and the content developed a will therefore be analysed and
speculated to be not preferred with respect to health conditions. Considering All the above facts
as well as the passage that are being elaborated it can be stated that the advancement in television
Technologies has made people to go ahead with and reaching the society at some instance by
also living society on hour basis with respect to the default media that is existing in the society.

Media is playing a Havoc with respect to all the solutions that are happening in the society and
complicating them by all means (Grainge and Johnson, 2015).
There are people who show favouritism towards one channel that is existing and that might
sometimes show negativity. This resolution Technologies upon these aspects can also be a defect
in changing the minds of the people. This has got a poor impact over the society where people
will usually believe what is being portrayed. There for the current state of television is balancing
both enriching as well as leaving the society in a poorest state and everything lies in the hands of
people in order to accept the truth and to work accordingly (Havens and Lotz, 2012).

how far people are being able to be benefited with regard to this television technology is being
