Television has changed the way people live for thirty years. It influences nearly every aspect of modern life: how people use their leisure time, how news is reported, how information is learned, and how people think and feel. Children are particularly susceptible to the effects to television because their minds are growing and learning much faster than those of adults. However, social scientists, teachers and parents are concerned about the impact of television on children. They feel television is one factor that causes declining mathematics and reading scores among schoolchildren. Because of the excessive time spent watching television, children are spending less time reading and thinking independently.
