Tv and eductation

I was reading High-Tech Hereticand Stoll was discussing how TV said it would be a “boon for education” (p. 117).  He then wanted to know where the boon was.  I believe he is wrong.  I think that the TV is what is educating our youth today.  It may not be the things that we want to be taught, but a lot of what is learned today is through the TV.  In my opinion, that might just be what is raising most of our youngsters.  We have a much more violent and lazy generation than when I was a kid.  I think we had  many little fights, but now when a person gets mad they are out for blood, where as many years ago they fought more, but with their fist and were friends again later.  In today’s society they are usually dead or critically injured so no room for making up.
