Television - Final

“All television is educational television. The question is: what is it teaching?” - Nicholas Johnson[1]

           

Whether we realize it or not, people take something from television every time we sit down and watch. We’re exposed to a little something that, by itself, seems like nothing and people just write it off as a waste of time. But watching that little bit is like reading one page of a novel. You can’t say from reading that one page that you now know everything about the book. You have to sit down and read the whole thing.  Television can be the same way. If you really want to take something away from it, you have to sit down and pay attention. Be an active viewer. Think about what you’re watching.
