It’s not all bad. I listened to a really bright podcast today by a 7 year old girl.
My brother was a tv addict and learned a lot of social skills through watching tv. He is a successful attorney and no one asks if he watched 8 hours of the tube when he was little, when he wins his court cases.
At least TV shows had themes, morals, a storyline... kids now are just flicking from meme to meme, from 2 minute videos of fights and skateboard stunts... and it’s constant. Fast and simple. Click. Click. Click. It makes a half hour episode of Gilligan’s Island look like Hamlet.
