     Electronic devices such as televisions and cell phones brought a lot of changes into our world.  Before electronic devices, people at the far distance had to use mail which is a lot slower than e-mail or phone call. Also, there are some people who had absolutely no idea of what is happening at the opposite side of the earth. However, now, great ways to interact with people such as televisions and cell phones enabled people to know each other more and communicate one another easier. Personally, I think television has brought more influential changes to the world than telephone did.

      Of course, telephone also brought significant effect to people’s lives, but, television has brought more. Telephone simply gave easy way to communicate or contact to someone whoever wants to contact. On the other hand, television has affected several aspects of communication such as cultural communication or educational communication.

             First of all, televisions allowed people to see what happens to other people even though they are far away from them. Through televisions, people see how other people in different country live with different culture. Especially, places like Africa and several tribes in Africa were hidden from outer world, thus people in modern society had no way to see what their culture is and how they survive in Africa. Now, through televisions, people are able to learn other country’s cultures that were hard to learn.

             Secondly, people can share emotions or information through television. TV shows or drama entertains people but also, people can share their emotions. What people usually do is that after they watch TV shows or drama, they discuss about it and share what they felt from it. TV shows sometimes entertain people, but sometimes they show people touching stories that make them cry. Through televisions, people can feel different kind of emotion.

             Finally, people can learn many things from television. People cannot be educated on telephone, but with televisions, they have no problem to learn something. There are many kinds of educational programs on TV, and it is really helpful to learn something new because TV uses visualization and people can learn something easier when they see something, rather than read something.
