Book, TV and Brain
||
Two Canadian scientists connected a test equipment with the cerebral nerve of people who were watching TV. They reached a conclusion: TV programs mainly have dialogues with our body rather than our mind.
An expert on media deemed that books communicate with people's left cerebral hemisphere, or the left brain, while TV does with people's right cerebral hemisphere, or the right brain. The left brain is in charge of reason, and TV makes "the reason" resting.
So, for children who are used to watching TV, reading print media is an agony, making them hard to bear, because the print media is so different from the TV that needs children to activate the part of "the reason".

Good article. My nephew, the son of my elder sister, is fond of watching TV programmes, particularly the cartoons. He can almost watch them a whole day without moving a little bit in the sofa.
But doing homework is most headachy thing to him. I never find he concentrate upon his study for ten minutes.
