Kids Rule on TV

Most kids these days are exposed to technology at a very young age. A pre-schooling age toddler spends most of his day watching TV. Some health professionals find the situation very unhealthy for kids for the fact that kids should go out and have fun in the sun or at least there is a playtime outside. I have experienced many incidents in my life where kids of age group 4-8 talk about the TV serial / shows just as if they are 30+. Its really shocking to see the kids talking like elders and all because of TV . Television is a big knowledge book for all of us including the kids. We learn what we watch, we should let our kids watch the shows which are educative and for the kids. Especially now when the era of Tatasky DTH and iControl has emerged. Technologies like DTH & IPTV provide the features like Parental control. You can simply set the channels that you don't want your child to watch. Not only this they also provide educative applications with the help of which your kid can learn exactly what is meant for him/her.
Talking about the maximum amount of time spent on TV is by kids I would love to refer Nielsen Wire: A Kid’s Eye View on Television and Beyond. Nielsen Wire have shown some stats of how much time kids are spending on TV & Internet. I must say kids are watching a lot of TV and all because theres a lot to watch on TV. Kids are ruling on TV, either outside TV screen or inside. In both the cases kids are the boss. At all the homes TV is turned-ON on the channel that the kids like. At least I can find my nieces stick to TV. When they are watching the TV no one and I mean no one at all can watch TV of his/her choice. But the thing is they watch the informative stuff and thats something I prefer always. Watching TV 3 - 4 hours a day for Kids is enough, but unfortunately the thing is not followed. Kids watch TV whole day. From noon to night they are watching TV all the time. In fact kids are not only watching the cartoon channels, they also watch the daily soaps (TV Serials) that their mother is watching. So Dear moms please schedule your TV hours accordingly, try to keep away your kids from such non-educative non- informative shows. You can watch your show later on as nowadays a very advantageous facility of recording your Live TV is present. In fact iControl in India records all the stuff coming on your TV, so you don't even have to take the headache of pressing the button of your remote in order to save a particular show. With all such advance features kids watching TV for hours can be controlled.
Kids are not only ruling TV at homes but also ruling inside TV, what I mean is that kids are acting in the TV shows and leaving behind all the elders. They are not only making the TV shows hit in ranking but they are actually attracting all age group viewers. Kids are everywhere movies,serials, singing shows, contests,comedy and anchoring etc. I must say its the era of kids, they really rule this TV world.
