How Does TV Effect Brainwaves?

Media Making Us Mean?

 

You may have read about some of the new studies looking at how Social Rejection can lead to increased aggression.

 

According to the Science Daily article:

 

People who feel socially rejected are more likely to see others’ actions as hostile and are more likely to behave in hurtful ways toward people they have never even met, according to a new study.

 

 

Letter-To-The-Editor

 

The average TV viewing time is now 6 days per month (142:29 hours per month). Tim Goodman, TV critic of the San Francisco Chronicle mentioned this statistic in his column along with tips on how to fill up those 6 full days!

 

In response, my husband wrote this letter-to-editor, it didn’t get printed, but I thought I would share it: 

Editor,

 

I was pleased to see Tim Goodman’s reference to the kill-your-TV-Folks and I fully support his sharing of ideas to get the most out of this medium. It does strike me as sad though that we spend a full six days per month sitting passively and being entertained. More time by far more than spent reading or spending time with our families or exercising or just about anything else. Time spent; time gone. You don’t need the kill-your-TV-Folks to know that. 

Great Letter Hubby !
