    Seems to me that a little bit of everything, not too mush of anything covers a good approach. TV is not BAD or GOOD per se. TV is, like everything, best used in moderation.

    I love this poem....what are you all talking about... It is true.. go around to anyone's house and you would see kids swarming around the tv set... And think of all the rubbish that goes on the tv nowadays

    i disagree
    i think television is very stimulating and can spread very good ideas around there by expanding and deepening our imagination.

    a real good poem...has relevance today too as so much junk is passed on as information. kids are most affected and dont study or play outside making their own games..it is killing their imagination...they don't read books even....now computer games and those on mobiles are a craze too eating into study time and play time..those ps3s are taking the time of outdoor games.
