My favorite part of the article was when it talked about the cause and effect. The T.v truly has done many things to us as a society both good and bad. It is tough to say it has done more harm then good but it seems to me the harm it has done is very visible. T.V to me is a drug. It is addicting and sometimes needed, I personally know people who can not sleep unless the T.V is on. I find myself a victim as well which I do not like. Once when my T.v was not working I put on a show I liked on my computer and it just was not the same. T.V is changing us as people and i don't know if it is a good thing. More and more are kids choosing to stay inside and watch T.V then go outside and do physical activities. Kids need to play! This drug though is capturing so many people. Another thing T.V is doing is ruining our perception of reality. So often to you watch things on T.V that seem so plausible and real yet in the real world it is never to be seen. Also people are losing their social skills. Watching is not an interaction it is simply just sitting and listening with no communication or skill required at all. The T.V was a great way to share information and news but I believe it is not being used for that as much anymore.

It was very interesting reading the post and I have to agree with that television has done many things to us as a society both good and bad. The good thing about television helps us see the world without picking up a book, traveling, and going to the movie theaters. Television has helped kids to learn by offering educational shows without going to school. Yes, television can be addicted and it makes us lazy. I have to agree again with you about kids need to play. Kids need to active, not sitting in front of a television all day and to teach them to be socialized; they need to play with other kids.
