Normally, when we are awake and alert, specific areas of the brain are measurably active. But scientists have found that viewing a cathode tube, or television, causes such a decrease in brain activity that viewers are actually put in a trance. According to the research, it doesn't matter what you're watching - the news, a soap opera or "Survivor." The mental numbing may be caused by the cathode tube technology itself.



I'm gonna guess no. Here's the article:

Hi Mr. EThoughts -- I think Jespah's answer in the other posting of this question was much better than mine -- I just thought that bit about the cathode rays being brain-numbing and addictive was interesting.

I don't know that it would mess you up...but ...what Jespah said. Wink

MisterE,

Check out some of the programs on your local PBS station and also those on The Discovery Channel, The History Channel and The Learning Channel.

If you find some shows with subjects that interest you, make note of that and make a visit to your local library to read some of the reference books on the subject or check out books on the subject.

If you want, let us know what shows and subjects caught your attention then come back here and write a book report type post on the show and information you found at the library. More then likely you'll find someone else here who is interested in the subject too and you can explore it together.

Doing that exercise will help you improve all the skills you mentioned.
