Maybe Shoving Kids In Front Of TVs Isn't The Best Way To Calm Them Down: Study

This is hard to believe, but it turns out that exposing children to the bright screens and flickering lights of television may not in fact help soothe them. The good news is now we also have tablets and smartphones with which to instruct children that they need never be alone with their own thoughts when there is a surface nearby on which something will pop up to provide distraction, so soon enough everyone will be ruined for sustained contemplation and we will thus hasten along this species’ destruction in a way that simply fucking up the planet through development and use of fossil fuels might not achieve on its own.
