Lazy Parents.

I have chose to do something a little similar to the video game post, but about TV and children. Remember when your parents Use to sit you in front of the TV and put on sesame street and Barney and etc..., of coarse you don't, you were probably too young to realize they were doing that. Well a study has shown that all that TV your parents thought were good for your brain, good for learning and good for them, may cause attention disorders by the time the kids reach school.

"About 36 percent of the 1-year-olds watched no TV, while 37 percent watched one to two hours daily and had a 10 percent to 20 percent increased risk of attention problems. Fourteen percent watched three to four hours daily and had a 30 percent to 40 percent increased risk compared with children who watched no TV. The remainder watched at least five hours daily."

I think this is very interesting, because i sat in front of the TV for a long time, all the time. I dont really feel like i have any attention problems, but maybe these days the things on TV may just cause those problems to happen.
