What would you say if a drug dealer put a container of free heroin in your living room? Ninety-eight
percent of the homes in the United States have containers full of a drug-television. The average
American home has a TV on for more than 6 hours every day. Kids who are growing up these days
watch an average of 20,000 hours of TV - the electronic babysitter, by the time they’re 15.
Researchers say that a TV-viewer’s brain waves enter a pre-sleep period within 30 seconds of
turning on the set and that this pattern can be addicting. Other experts point out that TV is the easiest
way to escape concerned with our great addictions to alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and food. There is,
however, no treatment available for television addiction.
Stories of TV addiction are incredible. One man said, "Last December, I concluded that TV was
controlling our lives. It kept my wife and me from talking with each other. I knew I had to do something.
Our efforts to control the habit had failed. Finally, I decided to kill the TV. I picked it up and threw it as
far as I could into the yard. Since then, our lives have been much better. We read, talk, and even have
friends. My advice to TV addicts is: Kill the TV!"
