/^t/Unfortunately here, I have come to the point in which I have to admit that all the statistical data say something very important. Whether we like it or not, children spend many hours sitting in front of a TV-set and gaping bluntly in the screen. Children do not choose which programmes they want to see. They just sit and watch everything as it goes (with films, discussions, commercials, etc.) Being aware of the fact that this is the case with TV, I now understand some people's idea to teach children about television. Because it can be useful and pleasant as long as you choose programmes and not just watch everything. Television can give children an opportunity to see places they have never seen. Television can show children what is bad and what is good. Television can teach.
