So goes the sayings “the key to life is moderation”, “variety is the spice of life”. A great deal is known about children and television, because there have been thousands of studies on the subject. Researchers have studied how TV affects kids' sleep, weight, grades, behavior, and more. It’s worth looking at what the research says when deciding how to manage television in your family. We do know that time spent watching TV replaces time spent interacting with caregivers and other children.

The 1950’s were known as “The Golden Age of Television,” and it became the dominant form of media over radio, newspapers and other advertising mediums. The three networks – NBC, CBS and ABC were the main networks in the 1950’s and they still remain the top networks today. All of the programming originated, live, in New York.
Two images, the refrigerator and the television would probably dominate a glance at modern civilization. Television is the center of most homes. Families generally spend downtime with the rest of their family watching a TV program.

Natale 1 Brooke Natale Professor Thoreson English 101 10 October 2006 Unplugged In Marie Winn’s essay, “Television: The Plug-In Drug,” she states that television once was viewed as something that was positive and brought families together; it now has more negative effects. Winn puts it best when she talks about “early illustration…a family cozily sitting together before the television set, Sis on Mom’s lap, Buddy perched on the arm of Dad’s chair, Dad with his arm around Mom’s shoulder…twenty years or so later Mom would be watching a drama in the kitchen, the kids would be looking at cartoons in their room, while Dad would be taking in the ball game in the living room” (par. 5). There is no such thing as family television anymore.
He starts clapping and jumping up and down screaming, "Baaaneeyyy". Anderson (2006) claimed that young children have a difficult time telling the difference between fantasy and reality, they are highly susceptible to the socializing effects of television, especially those shows on children's television channels and animated programs (p. 287).

This even happens to people in our society well. Mildred is the representation of an everyday citizen in the world of 451, and you see her spend all of her time in front of her three wall TV.

It has been researched that the noise that comes from the television keeps kids up at night! The noise isn’t the only problem… the light is too! All the flashing and bright colors distract kids and make them stay up later then they should be.
