limcyjain Yes children have a tendency to spend a good amount of time watching tv as the choice before them has increased manyfolds with the advent of cable tv. Surely this has had its impact on the time the children spend with their parents. My case is no different but...

soulsister_16 I strongly agree with what you said - true enough children watch too much TV because they find the shows interesting. But then again, what children find interesting today may be vastly different from what we used to find entertaining. Also, kids are not...

derek_a I think that kids will tend to watch TV if there is something that interests them. When I was a kid, the TV was mostly only broadcasting in the evenings and tended to close down between 11 and 12 and all you could get during the day was the test card.. So...

KrisNY My child does not spend too much time in front of the TV. I find it the fault of the parent if their child does. Even when the parent can’t be there actively participating in the activity- they can get their kids away from the TV. My daughter has a certain...

soulsister_16 You're right. It's not just TV watching; sometimes a kid and sometime even adults, stay up late every night just spending supposed-to-be sleep time on switching channels on telly. Doesn't make sense, does it? And if I may add to that, our kids will turn...

sukumar794 Nowadays , children spend too much time infront of TV surfing channels . This is quite an unhealthy trend to be curbed . Otherwise most of our kids would turn out to be couch potatoes.

If robots advanced to the stage of (for all intents and purposes) doing everything a human could, how would the economy change, and would they be given rights etc? Also (more hypothetically) what about star trek replicators,...

I am a very clear 'yes' on this. I was talking about this with a few people the other day though, and I found myself disagreeing strongly with their position. One of them made the 'it's not natural' case, claimed that was just his...

Why should we punish those who have offended our laws? What end do we seek to achieve from it? As for me, of course we should punish them. Justice is one of the most basic human needs, and punishment recognises the fact that...
