Sounds like there will be a larger democratic population in the future. Who would watch that much TV anyway? My kids are allowed only on Saturdays and one movie night per week, plus I didn't even have a TV in the house for their first eight to ten years. Are they smarter? Dunno, but they can entertain themselves and behave better than other kids.
Truthfully though, didn't we all learn our alphabet and numbers from "educational tv"?
I didn't learn ABCs and 123s from an electronic box. My mother taught me one-on-one. I was lucky.
