Television: the Plug in Drug by Marie Winn
Has television really become a drug? In the article from 50 essays by Marie Winn she points out how television has changed the way families interact, mostly with children. Winn suggests that television eliminates quality time families should have with each other to help shape children but instead allow the actors on t.v. to do so. In the past, households were limited to just one television because of the cost but today households are equipped with more then a few and places like restaurants are stocked with a abundance of T.V's for everyone's viewing delight. Television's have evolved and turned in to a drug we use almost everyday whether we want to or not, is it deadly? No, but effects can lead to dullness and a absence of a social life.
