Television today.


According to the A.C. Nielsen Co., "the average American watches more than 4 hours of TV each day (or 28 hours/week, or 2 months of nonstop TV-watching per year). In a 65-year life, that person will have spent 9 years glued to the tube." Fours hours! As americans we waste so much timing doing absolutely nothing. Children are growing up to be big because inside of playing outside they are in front of the TV. Children are not reading as much because "why read when you can watch a movie". Homework is not being done because shows can not seemed to be missed. Children are watching TV and learning violent actions and hurtful words. I believe parents should not allow children to watch as much to TV, but encourage them to play outdoors to exercise and get fresh air. The TV should not be a reality it should only be entertainment but how long can can we be entertain in one day? TV can be a good thing too its where people can relax after a long day, its where families can have time together. I simply want to worn people not to let people let TV consume your life. Because we are spending nine years of our life siting in front of a box.
