Go Ahead, Turn on the Tube

Now this is news: Television might be good for your kids. That's right. A recent study has shown that it may help boost test scores, especially in disadvantaged homes. And it isn't even the first to dispel the popular notion that the boob tube is the root of all evil. One scientist jokes that she can summarize her 25 years of research about television in one sentence: "It's the content that matters."
PS - After I wrote this I stumbled onto another article that says the opposite. The take-home message of a review of 173 studies of media consumption is that kids who spend a lot of time with TV, movies, music, and video games are more likely to smoke, do drugs, get low grades and reach unhealthy weights. Ouch.
Actually I think these both back up my approach to TV and computer at home: Good content in moderation.
