Product Description:
A startling exposé of Britain's growing addiction to television and why and what should be done to stop it, the author looks at the statistics that show television has become an obsession even more influential than parents inside the household.

Very good book. Hopefully, what "Supersize Me" said to Americans regarding our unquestioning consumption of junk food, this book will speak to regarding our unquestioning adoption of TV and other new media.
So-called media experts have been constantly rewarded for trumpeting the latest in devices and the "gains" they bring. But they overlook the cumulative effect each new device brings. More alarmingly, the author points out negative effects showing up in our children's behavior that can be traced ... Read More
