Screen kids - a generation raised by electronics

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.

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