TV, Videos and the Internet can be dangerous because it is escapism, putting your reality to the background and losing yourself in another world, if done in small doses its not terrible but it can become highly addictive. Bill O’Reilly who’s Fox News show i watch every day (yes i see the irony I am watching tv everyday ha ha) often laments on both children and adults who get lost in the technological age creating a pseudo life for themselves whilst avoiding their own reality.
Am I addicted to television and the internet? yes i am, however I really needed to escape my reality both as a child and as an adult.
