But even if television, the media, film, computers/internet, and video games aren't necessarily bad for children and teens, give some thought to what they are missing out on by spending so much time with these everyday "outlets." What might they be doing instead and what might those other activities do for their mental, emotional, and physical health? Have we lost touch with human interaction/communication on some level? Have we come so far that it is too late to get some of that back?
