More on the decline of Western Civilisation:

Perhaps TV should be limited for the under 18's: only allowable on prescription and under supervision.
Or perhaps it should be banned completely (for the under 18's, that is) just like Alcohol and Tobacco.

Now I don't actually believe that such is necessary, but I do think we should be aware of the course we are plotting, and the amount of 'drift' in the equation.

Says Sigman: “It doesn’t really matter what programme you watch, it’s flashiness is going to affect your brain,” says Sigman.

Ironic sentence to find in an article that's basically a spittle-spewing rant about how dumb kids these days are.

While I may question the grammar, presentation and media ;) - I do not fault the results.

I think I may post this. Cheers!
