Books or TV?

You might be thinking what am I talking about,
Its something at home, that stops you from going out.
If you spend time on it,you can't experience fresh air
under the sky,
You'll always be under the roof, while it spoils your eye.
You would always waste time on it and won't go down to play,
"Its of no use" thats what elders say.
Sometimes, I tell you, yes its quite true,
This useless box can't help you.
There are advantages, but don't forget the fault,
You'll keep watching it day and night,without a halt.
By now you must have got to know,
that television is our biggest foe.
And its your decision,
books or television.
