Children and Television

In the essay "Why We Tuned Out" by Karen Springen she brings up many facts of how TV is bad for kids. She has many details explaining her topic and contains some good advice of how TV is bad for children. She claims that children who watch television more than 10 hours a week are likely to become overweight and are slow to learn in school. TV contains many events in our social life. It contains many educated channels, but some that arn't willing for kids to watch.
I can see where Karen is coming from. TV does have a negative effect in children's lives but maybe TV can also help educate them in many ways.
Children tend to follow their favorite actors or pro athletes
