Question

It's a warm summer day during school holidays but the Smiths' children are not playing out,
they are in a darkened room, glued to the TV set, zapping aliens on their video games,
surfing the Internet, watching videos or using their l-pads to play online games. They usually
spend around five hours and a half sitting in front of a screen. As their friends ride their
bikes, go swimming, go skateboarding, play football and walk the dog. The only games the
Smiths' children play are those on the computer and their only pet is the mouse. The oldest
son is 14 and the youngest is 11 years old; they prefer to stay at home every weekend
instead of going out and doing activities with their school friends. For thousands of children,
the computer and the TV now dominate their lives, turning them into electronic junkies with
virtual childhoods where real relationships are replaced by artificial ones. Many children,
too, begin their TV viewing early and finish late. Programs designed to entertain young
viewers begin in the early morning. So parents may still be in bed when their children are
already up and channel hopping. According to some researches, ten hours TV watching a
week is a healthy level and any more than that will result in under performance at school
and an unhealthy lifestyle. They will probably fail at school, and as they get older they will
face health problems.
