power to bring the whole nation and all ages together in a way which the Internet never could．

Your article was especially critical （批判的） of the TV for the poor quality of programmes we now have． It is certainly true that many of the channels offer nothing more than repeats or low budget （预算） programmers． However， I would argue （辩论） that the most of content on the Internet is also of questionable quality． I agree that it is easy to keep up﹣to﹣date with the latest news on the Internet， but I'm sure most of us still enjoy sitting down to the News on TV in the evening just as much．

The writer is correct in saying that the Internet has become our major source （来源） for research and I think this is its main strength． However， criticizing （批评） the TV for not being as good is completely unfair． Information programmers like documentaries are made as entertainment not as research tools， and they will continue to be popular with viewers．

So I don't think the writer should be so quick to write the TV off． Just the opposite， I think it has many more years left in it! Yours sincerely， Samantha Johnson
