well, i am not sure if it is your writing style that gives me this impression, but looks like you have a fixed belief on what develops a child's mind and thought process and are imposing it upon the child. There are so many good things you can learn from the TV too and the computer or the internet is not not a monster that you need to fear. I am sorry to say this but this article just comes to me as another example of a parent trying to impose his / her own idealogies on a child and taking pride of that fact too.
