Book ,TV or Internet

"If you read a lot of books you are considered well read
But if you watch a lot of TV, you’re not considered well viewed."
Lily Tomlin
Well yes this statement is so true .In today’s world where the craving for knowledge ,information and entertainment is so high don't you feel a little left out if you just sit back with a book; where as on the other hand your idiot box may provide you all these three in a package in just a few minutes.
Children know so much because of television and so by not allowing them to watch TV I think parents would be shunning their own kiddos from an exposure which cannot be fathomed.
There was a time when people thought that TV was killing books and now is the time when there is a huge debate that internet is killing the books.
The truth is all the three have their own merits and demerits .And as far as books are concerned neither TV nor internet can match the depth of knowledge provided by the books.
Or for that matter don't you enjoy reading your favorite author sitting lazily on Sunday afternoon on your favorite couch. Nothing can beat a nice book read when you are on a journey.
Concluding just want to say that all the three TV, INTERNET, and BOOKS have their own group of takers.
So what’s my take? Well all the three dishes on the platter are great you just need to enjoy them at the right time and in the right proportion
