Hello Out There

Have any of you taken the time to observe children's programming in the afternoons?
I remember when I was younger, which was not that long ago, there used to be fun filled creative cartoons that would go on imaginative journeys. Most of the plots and stories lines were simple, the artwork hand crafted with minimal to no digital assistance.
Having more time on my hands recently, I viewed a popular children's afternoon segment.Within this segment there was two different platforms of viewing. The first was a series of Computer Generated cartoons which involved complex storylines with even more complex reasoning by the main characters to reach a resolution.
Having a generation being captured by more original and simplistic cartoons, created the surge in popularity of occupations requiring more creativity and abstract thinking.
However, now children are being exposed to more Computer Generated cartoons with complexities, is this breeding a generation of Online Gamers? Is this refining our youth, desensitising them to complex issues within a digital realm?
The second viewing platform, was that of a childrens show with a sitcom formula. This formula has become more popular within recent years, however the show followed teenagers running a publishing firm and their day to day antics within their own positions.
Is this grooming our youth into corporate employment?

With more and more shows, even Australian favourites are showing more and more teenagers entering fields that are highly popular,but low demand.
Is this giving our youth an unrealistic view of the job force?

So if you have an afternoon free, sit down and watch some afternoon children's television programming.
I believe you will find the answer to why we are breeding an increasingly depressed generation.

care to go back on this forum & look up how many times I referred to the idiocy of Aust. TV ?

I apologise that my article has caught your eye. Your comment above is quite self absorbed as this is a public forum and you are stating that only forums authored by yourself can comment on this topic. Maybe you should care to go to the ' About us' page and revise the purpose of this website, and then see if your comment above is relevant. Dispute the topic, not the fact that It may have discussed before, by bringing this up proves you are insecure about a new thread that is more eloquently written, and that is just quite sad. Enjoy reading my posts :)

I'm sorry you interpreted my comments this way, they weren't a all meant to be ego orientated. Yes much of the content of aust TV although not the worst I've seen is a soul-destroying medium for all not just the young. We're so worried about our young because they are our future (scary) and yet in the pursuit of the holy Dollar & the ever growing need for self congratulation the Aust TV family shamelessly dishes up saturation mindlessness via its programming. Just look at play school (or is it gay school) I mean what hope does a kid have watching such nonsense. Now, who creates this rubbish ? The people whom we vote for to get rewards at award nights. As you can deduce as long as we subscribe to rubbish the more of it is being produced & sadly, absorbed. Like I stated before unfortunately the human mind is not like a rubbish bin that can be emptied on tuesdays & fridays
