Kids Grow, Get Smart, Watch Less TV

As kids grow, they watch less TV. Or, according to a recent study by MarketResearch’s Packaged Facts, they become less interested in it with 60 percent of 12 to 14 year olds claiming they “love” TV as compared to 80 percent of 8 to 14 year olds. The researchers claim it’s the fault of multitasking which takes primary attention away from the tube. We think it’s just that, as kids grow, they also grow a brain and realize there’s really nothing worth watching on TV.
