Screen kids - a generation raised by electronics

http://www.albertmohler.com/blog_read.php?id=974

There's a discussion about this (see comments) but our kids know that even I am not allowed a TV in my bedroom.

How do we distinguish between different uses of the media, however ?

For example watching Neighbours is not exactly the same as watching Horizon.

Reading a well written biography is not exactly the same as reading a manga.

And surfing Youtube is not the same as reading a blog by ... shall we say Mohler ?

Somehow we have to train ourselves and our kids to use media well, not just to choose between media.

Some say that allowing unlimited TV on demand can train the child to choose and reject, while restricting TV creates a lust for the forbidden.

Maybe.

But I am still not allowed a TV in my bedroom and neither are our kids.
