Britons 'watch four hours of TV a day'

Summary
British viewers watched more than four hours of TV a day in the first three months of 2010 as a result they watched an average of 48 ads a day. A number of factors influenced this growth including more digital channels, the economic recession and the cold winter. Thinkbox said that this growth is seen in all age groups. The report only measures viewing through a television such as virgin media’s cable servicele service, but not through services such as the iPlayer that are watched on a computer. Thinkbox chief executive, Tess Alps says "Record levels are unlikely to continue. We are nearing the peak, if we are not there already”.

Life without a television is unthinkable in these modern times. A lot of peole rely on their television to keep intouch with the world around them. Television also often gives a worng message or image about the world around us. An example which occurs daily is the poor state South Africa is in. Many people now believe that a South African lives in mudhuts and wears rags. I think that if we are going to watch more tv at least the information should be true and there should be more programmes for adults during the day otherwise we’ll end up with teletubbies as highlights of our day.
