What Effect Does Television Have On Society?

Alot depends on how you look at it kids especially because they make it their life they spend more time watching t.v. Then anything else hate to say it but thats why there are so many obese children and adults now a days.They dont like to be outdoors doing sports or activities they would rather sit down with a bowl of popcorn and a big glass of pop then be outside getting fresh air.And it has alot to do with what we are watching not alot of people are interested in watching educational programs they like watching violence and shows that have no meaning.I can say that because i have 2 children 11 and 6 and the older one i have to pretty much drag her away from the t.v. While me and my younger daughter love to be outside i put time limits on the t.v. Time,game time and computer time.So it affects us in negative ways sometimes.stressed21
