They want this kind of candy or this thing, but um The best solution to do the best thing to do Is to sit Turn on car to network to nicolodeon and let the tv do the rest That's all you got to do easy solution. You heard the first some hashtag l and t easy solution, however, there are a lot of Uh, they're they're now with the entertainment. Uh, there's a lot of advantages Uh that come to this and these fall under the the pros of watching tv now first and foremost We can learn a lot of stuff for example Educational if you're watching national geographic or if you're watching history channel There are a lot of programs that actually benefit you Uh when when when you're tuning into them or when you're watching hashtag and nt at you know, say in tv three A lot of people now are saying oh, you know what he's boosting up his shows boosting up the channel I have to I have to boost up the show anyways, but um You know and and and the second thing uh when when you are watching, uh tv and beneficial programs, uh as a psychologist j Deckard he he mentioned He Shows and and and tv tells as I mentioned like ima has seen tv three Or i've seen media group when you're watching their channel or when you're watching a b tv at lbay tv There are you know, it's like it's like a house at your convenience It's like a seminary school at your convenience. You get to know the disbrent Arguments you get to know whether what's what's halal what's haram You know you get to know a lot of stuff and not through tv through live broadcast of is tv of hashtag lnt now without a doubt you know We always have to look for the highest quality of entertainment when we are sitting On on tv, but we have just received an audio message and then we'll continue a text message, okay, so from From adnan from algeria adnan from algeria says tv is very beneficial for everyone every person in the household Has learned something from watching tv imagine how naive it would be if it wasn't for tv um Thank you very much brother adnan for Sending us the question and you know elaborating on your point We can agree somehow and you know everyone Is in terms of their own opinion and at the end of the day It's beautiful to see how a lot of people are looking at this You know for me when i was asking you a few friends I was doing you know a small survey of the people i know and when i asked them Is watching tv good for you a lot of people said yes And a lot of people said no, but for the people that did say yes, we found that You know you get to know what's happening in the world second by second you know live Whereas internet and a lot of people said you know what we don't even need tv You know one of the people i heard he hasn't watched tv for over a year And i believe him because his tv just sitting at home And you know collecting dust but A lot of people saying internet can sometimes be an alternative to tv But at the same time You can't really it's it's like a second hand Information that you're getting but anyways, we're getting a few facebook comments Fatul and Batu just commented again She's she's internet is very bad.
