Television is taking up so much of society's already limited time. It is acceptable to a certain extent.99% of all the houses located in the United States will have a television. This is hardly surprising, as today, we live in a society where information is able travel to any corner of the world in a matter of seconds, which means that the general pace and speed at which the world moves has quickened significantly as well. On average a teenager will spend roughly twenty hours a week in front of the television screen, watching either a series, a documentary, the news or whatever is on, and 56% of them will watch it from their own rooms, on their own television. They will spend the same amount of time placed in front of a screen, as they do outside by the time they are six (36% of will do this in their own room with their privet television as well) and will witness approximately 11,000 murders and 200,000 acts of violence by the time they are in their late teens. In only one day, the television will be on for about eight hours in an average home. So really, nowadays, children are growing up to believe more and more that watching an unholy and unhealthy amount of television should be a part of their daily life.
