In the short essay “Turn Off the TV Before It Ruins Us” by David Nyhan, he discusses the effects television has on young kids today and how their life can be affected by it. “More than half of the American‘s kids have TV sets in their bedrooms, where they can pig out on whatever vile fare is lowest common denominator of the day.” I just got a TV set in my room no longer than 3 years ago; my parents never let me have one before because they knew it was bad for a young kid to grow up with a TV in their room. Maybe I am a better person today because they never allowed me to watch as much TV as I wanted, I will never know if they were right or not.
