Today's children are breaking barriers of 9,000 texts per month, and spending 1-3 hours a day alone on Facebook. This poses a question of whether or not these things are more harmful to a students academic success then that of their parents who grew up staring at a screen as well, just a T.V. screen. The internet use compared to simply watching T.V. poses different threats that a T.V. can not such as cyber bullying, and free internet porn. Many say that screen time to school work can be mitigated. Overall it was thought that if your kid is still doing their homework then 2 hours on Facebook each night is no different then watching T.V.

I grew up being allowed to watch t.v. as much as I wanted, as long as I was in bed by 10....I turned out just fine. :) I think that people over analyze everything these days and it's ridiculous.
