Does the television have a greater effect on people than the telephone?~

The television and the telephone do in fact play a big role in society today; do I believe that the television has a greater effect than the telephone, well…I really do not know. Over the years both devices have advanced, by having additional features such as multiple entertainment apps and the ability to use the internet. Both devices have become quite smaller too, television became thinner (Flat screen televisions) and the telephones became mobile (Cellphones). Once I think about it, I think that the telephone (Cellphones in particular) is far more superior to the television; though both having the almost exact same applications, but it is because the telephone has the advantage of being mobile.
Cellular phones are one of the more far advanced in society than the television; this may be because cellphones are much cheaper than the television. Another reason why I think that the telephone is much more superior to the television is because the telephone (cellphone) is technically a smaller more mobile version of the television. Specific apps on the phone are able to stream live video feed from the internet, from television series to movies. Though the television has the same apps and has the advantage of being larger to provide a much more comfortable viewing of movies, I still think that the telephone is better. Another advantage that they telephone has that the television does not have is the ability to call; this is the only feature on the telephone that does not share the same thing as the television (Skype does not count as calling…I think you know what I mean).

When I think about the televisions and the cell phones, I realize that both the electronics are somewhat equal to each other. I realized that both the electronics are almost always made by the same companies, such as Samsung, LG, and etcetera, making this prompt pretty useless to me. I really do not like comparing these two and seeing which of the two have a greater effects because to me they both have almost and equal effect. When you calculate the percentage of people that have televisions or cellphones, you realize that anyone who has a cellphone is likely to have a television and the same the other way. So again, do I believe that the television has a greater effect than the cellphone…I think my answer is still a(n) I do not know. Though this is my opinion, not all will agree with it; people have the right to believe which of the two electronics is superior, though it would be too difficult to explain. No one is obligated to agree with this and I respect that, I think that I have a much more simple way of thinking this over; I mean I really like my television and my telephone (though I hardly use both) and I appreciate them both equally. If I were to say which had a greater effect on me, I’d say they both entertain me and they both provide some sort of application that benefits me… sooooooo, that’s what I think. :)
