[Guest guest]

Don't know how true all this is...Selvaraj----

Chris: I think I've also heard you say that television is the

arch-enemy of imagination. Exactly what is television doing to our

children?

Joe: Television literally prevents neural growth in the developing

brains of children. When young children watch too much, it suppresses

the capacity of their brains to create an internal image of some thing,

or some one, or some event not presented to the sensory system by the

environment, which is the essence of what we call " imagination. "

Researchers used to think that it was only the content of the

programming that was negatively affecting children. Now we have ample

evidence that the technology of the device is very harmful in and of

itself. In other words, the simple act of watching television has

profoundly negative effects on the physiology of human beings.http://www.appliedmeditation.org/The_Heart/articles_joseph_chilton_pearce.shtml
