What do you think?

I agree that children would grow to be smarter human beings without the privilege of watching television. Because honestly it’s not even a privilege. My main concern behind agreeing that watching TV makes us less smart, is the fact that the things we see on TV isn’t reality. The problem with that is people start to see things on TV and feel that they can do the same when we all know that’s not the case. Television contains a lot of things that keeps us less intelligent. It might now be complete mind control but its close enough to it. Think of it this way, we could be reading books but we are watching our favorite TV show and music videos. I think that the entertainment company knows that we would rather watch TV than read books and that simply because it’s entertaining and Americans love to be entertained. We get so caught up in what’s going on TV and forget about the real world. When you watch TV and your shows about to be over, the only thing you remember is what happened during that show. But when you read a book not only do you think about what happened in the book, you might learn new words or even feel smarter when you’re done.  I was always told the TV is for the less intelligent and reading equals success. All I can say is if you’re going to watch TV, try to make sure it’s only the news.
