TV – What are the implications, advantages and disadvantages
One of the last week including a rant TV "on several fronts. It 'started with my" Monday Morning Memo "from" The Wizard of Ads. Roy H. Williams, the author concludes his speech with the words:
"… Keep magnetic Television in the minds of us seem to be a lot of people right now. And I for my part, think for a while 'and come to some kind of conclusion. And then they probably have some kind of action – that What will never, I have no idea. "
So when I went to my Yahoo email groupThe author-composer of the group of which I discussed the Williams notes, the description of Stephen King in his book "On Writing the TV as a murderess of creativity, and then Norman Mailer article in Parade magazine on Sunday, where he also insulted TV.
Says the insidious effect of television on our entire education system. Said the increase in television see a couple of minutes, interrupted by a series of independent public works abilities of our childrenmaintain concentration for longer periods, reducing their desire to read at all, and therefore their ability to read well.
He cites obesity as a second power of our young people sitting in a dazed state before the cathode ray tube, eat and drink constantly, but worse still, looks very prosperity of our nation is influenced by the manner in which the world will always be able to overcome our economic conditions.
At that time I felt good about the factI do not have a television, and had one since 1994. I say that usually the only time that I lack at the Academy Awards, and the Olympics. The truth is that if I had a TV (and I know that this is the case, why was I 1985-1994) I would be the end of the noise and again only time-do-for – TV movie drivel that has also been solved .
My children and I was without TV from 1978 to 1985. We had a house with two TVs and moved to a new locationI heard that there would be with a TV to promote creativity, activity outside the home and social life – he did. As far as I know, my five children all over television today, but I have no idea how much time they spend watching.
Since the beginning of the observations during the discussion of the Yahoo group of the negative effects of television caused rant. Some hated him and never saw another observed only occasionally, others are envisaged to reduce or stop the clock, and then there were those who love him,watch all the time and his praise to sing – some posters were also a little 'aggressive.
As a storyteller, I believe that television, with its images and sounds has storytellers and keep listeners inspired and challenge their own pictures of the spoken word. I am aware that often involve one or two minutes my audience, no matter how young or how old. But he also applied my belief that there is a good story, well told, is always against the television –Sitcom.
I want to return the hours that I spent ( "Wasted") in front of the TV before I banished from my house, but I still remember some of the variables that I am happy that I miss Sid Caesar, I Love Lucy, Johnny Carson, Carol Burnett Ed Sullivan, Dick Van Dyke – you can guess the rest
So how do you feel about TV? Which category you fit? Hate it, love it, want to get rid of it or learn from it? Send me your comments.
