[简答题]Last spring, my husband and I loaded our three children into the car and drove off to see friends in the United States. Over the course of a week, we visited half a dozen households, each with children of its own. (81) And I found myself struck, again and again, by the frequency with which we modern parents use television to silence young children.
Get a couple of families together, and when noise from the kids rises too much, on goes the video and all is gratifying silence until the credits roll. (82) It’s like throwing a blanket over a noisy parrot’s cage : With one motion, the parrot’s stimulating surroundings vanish and its squawking instantly subsides. Hit the "play" button and the same thing happens. Children might be wrestling or running around, but let that mesmerizing box light up and they’ll stop to stare at the screen. Nearby, the adults smile as the caterwauling ceases: "Phew! That’s better."
The video has become a member of every family I know
