Television and Growth
When children learn to communicate with other people, the majority of the communication is physical, eg: eye contact, body movements etc..
If someone watches tv, the people on tv talk to the camera, and therefore the person watching it.
The only problem is, if this happens, none of that body language exists between the people, it is one way only.
This might make the brain develop these skills differently, or not develop them properly.
I am thinking that an extended use of tv, especially from an early age would lead to slower growth in personal skills and probably other social aspects, even further along in life.
I am interested in anyone's comments on this.
