The Plug-In Drug: Television, Computers, and Family Life Paperback - 2002
by Marie Winn
The landmark book on TV addiction and children is now completely revised and updated to include the variety of electronic media (computers, VCRs, and video games) that have supplemented TV in the home and increased children's bondage to the screen. (Available now)
Summary
How does the passive act of watching television and other electronic media-regardless of their content-affect a developing child's relationship to the real world? Focusing on this crucial question, Marie Winn takes a compelling look at television's impact on children and the family. Winn's classic study has been extensively updated to address the new media landscape, including new sections on: computers, video games, the VCR, the V-Chip and other control devices, TV programming for babies, television and physical health, and gaining control of your TV.
