The media's influence knows no bounds as it continues to extort us for their own benefit. Even worse, it is actually negatively affecting everyone from children to adults. Society as a whole is getting dumber and rather than thinking for themselves, they are becoming used to having someone else think for them.
Television, video games, and electronics, are destroying society as we know it.
Since television has free reign over what and how they make advertisements for children's show, they inadvertently are persuaded by the subtle nuances of TV commercials.
The problem with television, or rather, the excessive amounts of viewing television, is not that it tells them to buy things and beg your parents to buy them for you, but the physiological issues that may arise. On average, todays children spend about seven hours a day in front of a TV. This kind of behavior can lead to attention problems, difficulties in school, sleeping and eating disorders, obesity, and diabetes. This article explains what parents can do to prevent issues in a child's behavior and attitude.
The combined use of television, video games, and electronics only enhances the issues I just detailed. More and more children are being diagnosed with ADHD and obesity in particular. The producers of advertisements and electronics know exactly what they're doing and what kind of effects they are having on today's children, but they do not relent. They continue to do so, so that they can make more money.
