Studies say that TV makes you stupid. It is much more important than we … – Antyweb

As far as I’ll ever not having a TV it seemed to be something very strange, so now anyone that is no longer able to surprise. More and more Poles resign from television – all this yet gives us the Internet, and in some cases much more. Part of the blame for the outflow of consumers of this medium bears still declining level of the presented material there – what more ambitious will find something more interesting just in the resources Network.

The fact that stupid television says even without the support of research, but as in any case where you talk about the negative effect of the stereotype, but it is worth the hard evidence of such, and no other state of affairs. Recent studies have shown that television has a negative effect on our intellects is so unique that lasted half a century, which examined 3,000 people. The duration of the study and its scope are therefore truly substantial and can expect to receive at the occasion of a lot of very valuable and what is important – reliable data.

The conclusion of the study is simple – people who sit a lot in front of the TV, little exercise, cope with worse cognitive tests than those who sit less before teleodbiornikiem and by the way have a better physical performance. However, in the tests of verbal ability results were the same for both groups. The researchers suggest that too long watching television can favor a more rapid deterioration of cognitive abilities with age.

The test can be read the other way. That’s the problem

These study is burdened with a hint of imperfection. It turns out that 25 years ago were not carried out tests of cognitive abilities, which can be compared current results. Therefore, you can not confirm the hypothesis that with age (and watching TV) cognitive abilities deteriorated. It might well be that the results have not changed at all and those who fared worse now fail to achieve better in the past – and therefore the most rational explanation for this, and no other state of affairs may be that the existence of certain preferences in people with fewer opportunities intellectual.

But already managed to prove that after watching television involves areas of the brain less than, for example, listen to the radio. In brief, we can say that while passive participation in the program one has to some things, “dowyobrazić” for interpretation. He must think. TV and provides all of the stimuli, and often … does not offer the high-flying content.

It is worth thinking about it in the context of changes in the collection of our cultural content

Television begins “netfliksować” (I know, ugly neologism, but I’m damn curious during one of the debates on this topic ). We are entering a whole new level of acceptance of such content. We decide about our program lineup, we decide the time in which they watch this or that. Are such people TV will work the same? Regardless of the results of the research at this point – you need to repeat them and to carry out similar over the next quarter century. Although I do not think particularly pleased television can be firmly and accurately correlate with reduced cognitive abilities. I’m all for it, it’s just bad habits in this regard may reduce the broader spectrum of our capabilities time – an unhealthy lifestyle, little activation intellect of incentives rather factors that simply bad influence on our brain. It is really worth bend on this issue as often as possible, because even though it speaks of the fall television, something must fill the gap. The Internet has become a brilliant medium for various types of content – even for video.
