CHANGING MINDS, LIVES AND SKILLS
Studies have shown that television and its meteoric rise since the 1950s has had more effect
than any other technological development in this century on changing the way many of us live.
Used rightly, television can be a wonderful medium to inform, expand and broaden one's life. (1) It
can open up important knowledge about news, events, of different people, of history, the arts and
sciences.
Tragically, the typical channels mainly ignore such development. Their programmes are
light and amusing. (2) They no longer realize, or care, that they may be neglecting to develop
important personal abilities. Let's so easy to let ready-made entertainment take over, to just sit back
and let someone entertain us.
One study in the US found that more than half of ail elementary school children watched TV
while their evening meal. An even larger percentage watched while doing homework. (3)
(4) Logic and putting ideas together are processes supported by regular reading and by having - e to
think about events. TV, by contrast, usually presents its messages in little, rapid clumps :h little
information as to how and why the events took shape.
Heavy television viewing kills the initiative to take an active part in outdoor games, which is
essential for a child's development. And, at its worst, television entertainment is filled with false
deals, morals, ethics, relationships, role-models and, of course, violence.
(adapted from "The Plain Truth", July 1990)

d) Educators are also concerned with the steady decline in children's physical skills.
e) Many authorities have noted a drop in students' ability to think clearly.
