In the past, the choice of entertainment was very limited. But nowadays, there are different means of entertainment. One of them is television.

Television has already transformed our daily life by changing different traditional routines and ways of dressing, eating, thinking and communicating. Thus, it has become the most powerful means of communication since practically every family has a TV set at home. It keeps us informed about the world news, and broadens our horizons by enriching our knowledge of other nations' cultures, history, sciences and arts.
