Hunger for knowledge
It is common hunger for all people of all ages. Was there no hunger for knowledge there would be no progress of technique and other spheres. Though, people are always thirsty for new knowledge, they want to know where the limit is and whether there are something they haven't known before but able to find out about. We all want to know more about a number of things and we find a number of different ways to find out about it. Nowadays it is common for people to gain information from television, internet and different mass-media.
And it is important to know what kind of information people are able to receive from the TV and books they read. First of all a couple of words should be said about the quality and quantity of that information. The quantity of information is huge, it is even better to say very huge. A number of different information is provided for people by means of television. There are a number of programs that deal with a number of things. There are such programs that tell people about different countries they have never been before and customs of those countries. So, it is fair to say that hunger for knowledge is satisfied by means of those shows.
There are also TV-shows that deal with animals, events, phenomena, technique etc. only. Those are narrow-aimed shows for people who are interested at certain sphere of this life. And the hunger for knowledge is also satisfied by means of those shows. Though, there is another kind of information people are provided with by means of television. That information is of subconscious type and so people percept it subconsciously. That is the information about norms of behavior. Teenagers adopt the behavior of people they see on their screens. That is not the information that can satisfy hunger for knowledge, but that is the information that forms their personalities.
No matter on the brightness of TV-images it is better to percept booking information. The information in books is deprived of all unnecessary shades. It is the pure information about thing people want to know. In case if you are interested at some phenomena there is a point to purchase a book that deal with that phenomenon. Reading of book will let you more time to think over the information. While reading a book you will also make up your own mind about it. The greatest disadvantage of booking information is the "expire date". Information in books is never updated and remains the same for a number of years. Though, the information we percept from the screen is the newest one.
It is your own choice to decide which way of hunger for knowledge's satisfying. There are a number of advantages of booking and TV information. And there are also a number of disadvantages of both. I guess there is a point to combine those two sources and don't refuse one of those. It is important to remember that information is needed. If there is no information people won't be able to develop and make new inventions.
