You would think that only adults have addictions,
but that’s not true. TV is a drug. Studies say that children should watch no
more than two hours of television a day. They say that TV is potentially
damaging because of the flashing bright colors, loud sounds, and frequent
fragmentation of reality it is too much for young minds to manage. Although,
parents say technology makes their children smarter it is proven that it isn’t
that good for younger people. They do say that everything bad is good for you in a way.
Just like any drug if you are exposed to it too much it dulls your senses. At
dradamcox.com it states “The brain is an organ that is unique in that it
develops in response to its environment – and if you’re continually “blasting” a
young developing mind with rapid-fire images, you may be creating a mind that
craves high level stimulation but lacks the ability to focus in attention” this
shows us that children shouldn’t watch too much TV. Unción is only five years old and she has an
addiction of watching television. After researching the cause of TV I am going
to limit her time watching TV. She is really addicted to the TV because she
watches it all day when she comes home from school and she watches it before
school. She watches Lalaloopsy, Sofia the 1st, Keeping up with the
Kardashians, and Total Divas. She
doesn’t just watch kid shows she also watches adult shows. She loves watching
movies like Brave, Tangled, Wreck it Ralph, and Frozen. I don’t think that it
is bad for her to watch television I just think that when I am watching her I
am only going to allow her to watch TV for 30 minutes. I don’t want her brain
cells to be dead. I don’t want her to be addicted to drugs and if TV is a drug
than I don’t want her to be addicted to it either. She loves not only the TV,
but technology in general. I know she is going to throw a fit, but I just want
to help her.
