Nowadays, people are in a constant lack of time and they have no time for reading so they watching TV instead. There are off course some historical factors that influence such situation. For example it is common that people had no TV some ages ago and all they were able to do is reading. Though, times had changed and no people have a number of alternatives to replace reading with. There are television, video and s on and so forth. People have a number of entertainments and they have no need in books anymore.
Though. It is impossible for culture to develop without literature. Books provide us with opportunity the television will never manage to provide. It is common that people who watch films produced after some book state that reading of book was more interesting and exiting than watching a movie. It may easily be explained. While one is reading a book the imagination of person works. People have different images about people they read about and events. But, when they watching a movie they see images about the same events but those images belong to another person. And there is no imagination able to create images more impressive than those one's imagination creates.
Today the struggle between television and literature is of great importance. People divided into two groups. One group consists of those who prefer television before literature and the second group consists of those who prefer literature before reading. Frankly speaking both groups are wrong.

It is true that television informs us about a number of interesting things and spares out time. Though, it gives no opportunity for our imagination to operate. And in case if we will lost our ability for imagination our life will be deprived of a number of beautiful things. Not hard to be that world deprived of fabulous things created by our imagination will be dull and boring.
