Does watching TV make people stupider?
Question by Goodbye: Does watching TV make people stupider?
“A TV screen flashes (or refreshes itself) up to 30 times per second. Interestingly, this speed is the similar to a concentration brain 
state. Your brain gravitates to that rhythm, and you tune into whatever is drawing your attention – forced focus “Entrainment.” So if a light (or TV) flashes at a slow rate, one’s brain picks up the slow rate and that person feels sleepy. If it flashes at a fast rate, you may feel energized or anxious. If your brain picks up a concentration flashing rate, you will focus on the TV or computer screen, even though you may not be all interested in what’s on it. Have you ever had the experience of watching TV even though you didn’t want to– the feeling of being mesmerized or compelled to watch, even though you were being with what was on? I have.”
Now with that said….
Here’s my question.
If people watch TV for an extended period of time, do become dumber?
I mean, the beginning, the conflict, and the conclusion of a show is all done and presented for you…
When and how does your brain work?
Everything is being done for you, mentally.
