					<description><![CDATA[Well, my 4 month old daughter isn&#039;t there yet, but is transfixed by the television if it&#039;s on - such rich audio and visual stimulation is hard to ignore.

I d worry that the skills we develop from reading, and playing in our imagination will be less so for a generation who grow up with video everywhere.  I have a friend, who shall remain nameless, who says if he wants to learn anything, he looks at a movie on YouTube.  This worries me on so many levels.  Possibly the most troubling is that he doesn&#039;t realise at all the level of learning that is taking place, or rather the deeper level of learning that could be taking place.  I worry that &#039;instant&#039; learning, could replace &#039;deep&#039; learning.  That watching will replace thinking.

There&#039;s no doubting that technology can enhance our life, and our children&#039;s lives.
But going the easy and instant root is a bit like cooking.
you definitely get a healthier and more nutritious meal that is better for in the longer term if you cook yourself, but the McDonalds is so easy and everywhere...]]></description>
