] Watching television at a very early age could lead to
] concentration problems later in childhood, according to a
] new study led by Seattle researchers published today in
] the journal Pediatrics.
]
] For every hour of television viewed per day before age 3,
] children were 10 percent more likely to have trouble
] paying attention by age 7, researchers said. A child
] younger than 3, for example, who watched two hours of
] television a day was 20 percent more likely to have
] attention problems at age 7 than a child who never
] watched television.

And I'm only seeing the problem escalate with future generations. I know it wasn't the greatest flick, but a Johnny Mnemonic scenario comes to mind.

] Hey, "reality" TV show fans, I've got a concept to pitch: Break
] the Alky. Fox picks a recovering alcoholic and pretends to kidnap
] his wife, kill his child, and get him fired from his job - all
] with the consent of those involved, of course. A camera crew then
] follows him to see how long it'll take for him to turn back to the
] demon of liquor after having denied it for so long ... and then we
] watch the hilarious results!

The way reality shows are going this might not be that far away.
