In “Television: The Plug-in Drug,” Winn argues the effects of television on family life. She reveals the television has changed the way of family activities. Especially, on the children that have been influencing by television which is changing the family’s communication, sleeping time, and child group activities. She pointed out that in the past, television seemed to bring the family together, because each family could only afford one television. In this modern day, with the low price of television, almost every family can have two or three or for each one in the family. From this reason, family member started to separate time of watching television from each other. From my opinion, the television seems not to be the cause of problem but the parent who give their children everything want. What if we just started to think about what really is the cause of the problem and solve it from there?
