TELEVISION is an indispensable tool for greater needs, for greater communications. Even if we have other tech gadgets and device still is TV or television is the most important part of our lives in today's generation. With computer and the networks providing news through written words and few videos occupying their website those are not enough to help sustain the need for data and information that television can give to their patronizers, users, subscribers and viewers. Computer and handheld cellphones will lose its fans and addicts but with TV I don't think TV will lose its fanatic. Televisions are part of our lives, in daily tasks and most of all every rooms in the house without television is simply incomplete.
To complete your life and home you must have television as to complete your furniture and appliances. It's for your own good and for your kids educational enriching and enlightenment program. Kids who are TV fanatic are mostly smart kids.
You can see them watch ordinary cartoons or animated cartoon yet somehow they learned from them. Some cartoons seem stupid and offers just comic antic however they keep them happy and want to stay at home without you taking them outside and play when the sun is scorching hot. You know right there while your children learned from good cartoon characters they are safe and secured in your home. Safest, secured and inexpensive way to entertain your children. However they have to do some "social interference in school or with the neighbor's kids." Once in a while, not all the time. Make them feel normal as possible. Most genius are known to be anti-social and geniuses have lives that are not normal compared to others (of course). Are they TVholic too? Truth is they are definitely glued to the television.
Why suddenly TV is a means to educate your children? Their attention is more focus on what they can see on the TV screen rather on classroom discussion. As I've noticed and observed in the past that children have to learn being around the teacher while she discuss her lesson. Circle formation. sometimes is not good . Its a way to distract a child's concentration. Their focus is actually not on the teacher speaking but on the face of their classmates surrounding the teacher. Lessons learned the students will have problem with coordination and will always be dependent on others to do their task when they grow up.
The determinants of smart genes are noiw based on what the children watched on TV and learned and remember and can be stored in their memory bank rather than what the teachers taught in school which are so limited. Television news, television shows and all the many programs such as educational shows add an infinite knowledge to young minds. I consider myself a benefactor of such claims that TELEVISION Is such a great tool for knowledge. Vast amount of knowledge that can be compared to the information in books. While computer technology is more on the process of socializing the rest of the information is somewhat hard to believe and if there are believable information you really have to seek them in books for further introspection, research and investigation. It will always be an open source of inquiry due to the many prankster in today's generation and they are using the internet to widen such pranks. Real crazy world. When will it end crazy as loom?
Then there are munks who are hippies of yesterdays during the Marcos era and suddenly reminisced their lives long time ago. What Martial law has taught them and they are still proud of their old lives. I could only defend Pres. Marcos about the accusations they wrongly interpret what Marcos did. You probably knew that during the Marcos regime in the Philippines, America is in great turmoil and their political and economic status weakened day by day. Crime rate went up so high. Known to have been in the news for quite sometime during those years > The hippy Mansons and his group of killers and their murdered victims, the abduction of Patricia Hearst by group of hippies. Remember during those period of times you don't want being stereotype with those kind of people and the manhunt for the murderers and perpetrators of anything evil, hippies ( long haired, look-like dirty scoundrels, homeless and jobless hippies) were number one prime suspects. That's in the US! But the global manhunt is not only through the US but through the Philippines and other countries. Pres. Marcos being the Philippines leader in peace and order only want to protect and serve the Filipino people from all those atrocities and injustice. Now you know why he wants Filipinos to look good not only in the eyes of God but in the eyes of the people around the world. EDUCATION served as better communication of all knowledge in this world and when you have TV during the 60's and 70's and 80's you are most knowledgeable in almost everything globally.
Sometimes I get frustrated too that before I even publish this note somebody has published it first. My ideas and news are stolen right away. Nothing's private here in the internet. I hope that it's the GOOD PEOPLE FOR GREATER GOOD who are eyeing my blog post on draft.
