Some years ago parents from all over the world complaint about the time their children spent in front of the tv. However, something has changed, young people watch tv only a few hours or nothing at all, because they are too busy in front of the computer. But, is it a good change?
Doctor’s have always been worried about the children’s tv hooked and although we have to recognize that it is not a good habit, almost parents can control what the child is watching. The net is full of inappropriate contents like sex or violence webs and it is more difficult to take care about it.
In addition, we can describe the box as a social source, people usually watch it surrounded by their family or friends. By contrast, many teenagers live inside of an unreal world, where they only make friends employing social networks.
Finally, we have to say that the problem has become worst since the apparition of smartphones. This device let the people being connected even when they are walking on the street. Therefore, getting hooked is really easy.
To conclude, I have to say that PC is not better than TV. But personally, I think that the problem is the education provided to the children. We should learn how to show them that there are better ways to spend their free time.
