Television is a mass-media, which gives the possibility to anyone to see what
is happening anywhere else in the world. It is a wonderful tool to know things
better. Almost wherever it was, television brought democracy, because people
could know how other people lived and thus consider how badly they lived.
However, television is not a communication tool, because communication means
exchange, whereas television only works in one way : from the channel to the
spectator. Even though some programs offer the possibility to interact with
it (by voting or calling special numbers), it remains very limited.
On the other hand, the essence of the Internet is interaction between people
: the Internet is a network of people who make it live : without this interaction,
the Internet would die.On many websites, there are forums, chat-rooms where
you can communicate with each other, meet people, get involved in causes, etc.
Still, the expression "play a part", also means that the Internet
is a place where people lie a lot, especially on chat-rooms : many people are
boasting and explaining how great they are.
