Educating the Young with TV

sesame street!

Unlike, education in the past, the means of increasing our intelligence levels is evident within our children's TV shows. By emphasizing on the content and using colorful images to represent numbers, alphabets, colors, shapes, and sizes, cartoon producers are successfully brightening the levels of intelligence for the new, future generation to come. Sesame Street, Between the Lions, and Barney, use music and morality to keep the children's attention. It is increasingly educating children as young as 1 year old. The outcome is surprising. At the early age of two, my little cousin, who tunes into PBS, is able to announce his age and interpret what C-A-K-E spells. He is also able to remember things that happened a week or two earlier, as well as, answer questions, such as, "What is your name?" By providing such programs to the youngsters and advancing the levels of learning, within a few years, our future generation will be smarter and much more capable of starting a more efficient, improved education system. However, it is up to us, the generation of today, to encourage the learning of our young and keep them interested in learning.
