Telephone and television are the modern technique of the world. They bring more advantages to people and people rely on them. They are necessary in lives, but if insist to compare with the two things I think the television has more effect on people's lives than the telephone. My reasons are as follows.

First of all, the television lead people know everything in the world. People can receive the news from every country through the television. Although people also can see the events from newspaper or internet, television has the live news report for news continuously update. Besides, people can more understand those news by the newscaster's explain. That proves the television is very important to people's lives, unlike the telephone can't receive the latest information.

In addition, the television has many channels offer people to choose, so watching television at home is the most common leisure activity. For example, the movie channel, cartoon channel and entertainment channel are very suitable for family watching together. So watch the television become the most popular leisure activity after people’s busy work day. Further, now the television has many functions. The television not only provides the news but also has the educational channel. For instance, some children like learning English by the television, because the English channel with the lively performance in teaching. Such the video teaching can help them to memory in English and won't feel boring.
