Seminar research

For seminar preparation this weekend i searched on the Internet for find further information sources about ''television influence on children , how television viewing affects people and the future for television.''
I find many interesting result.
In the following i am going to write a summary of those finding and the links of the websites which i think might be useful for other students.
-A research mentioned that nearly 70% of children aged 8-15 years are watching TV 14 hoers
per week.
-nowadays four out of five children aged 5 till 16 have a TV set in their bedroom.
-children are watching average of 3 until 5 hours television per day.
-studies show that too much television viewing can have adverse affects.such as more violent and aggressive behavior,poor school performance ,early sexual activity,and drudge or alcohol use.
However, children are not engage in the activities ,they need to help them develop their bodies and brains when they watch television.Young children need to ''explore ,move manipulate,smell touch and repeat as they learn.
For older children is it important to play ,read ,do home work ,and talk with other children and adults for healthy development,according to the Department of Education,mention the link address in the following.

-obesity problem: Watching television consumes only a few more calories than sleeping. Children who watch television instead of physical activity are getting fat.

-Between 2008 and 2012, the analogue TV signal will be switched off in the UK, meaning the country will have to be 100% digital.
Digital TV can be sent through an aerial, satellite, cable or phone line, and to watch it you need a set-top box or a built-in decoder in your TV set.
TV could be use on the mobile phone and other gadgets.High definition television, or HDTV, is a new format for watching programmes, offering sharper, clearer and brighter pictures and better sound.More realistic and educational purpose also variety products will be extended on the television.
To sum up in my view i think the media and particularly television and Internet will use for education purpose than entertainment.furthermore,censorship and media tycoon would not exist any more so we will live in the world village.
