/^t/Think about children who constantly watch television. Homework is often undone, the sleep is lost. Especially those teenagers influenced greatly by this "time-wasting monster" prefer TV watching to studying. This happens even in case of examinations or tests on the following day. It doesn't matter they waste their time on watching, often, the out-dated commercials or certain films full of sadism and violence. Such a shallow kind of entertainment is only a waste of their precious time. Neither does it contribute to their studying nor does it provide them some relaxation.
