In Johnson's 'Watching TV Makes You Smarter', he basically states that you gain intelligence in this day and time if you actually pay attention to what is happening in the show. I agree with the statement that television has changed over the years and that now you must use a great deal more of your thinking skills to keep up with all that is occuring because shows have become more complex; however, I also disagree with what he is saying to an extent. The disagreement comes in because of the types of shows he is referring to. I believe that 'The Discovery Channel' or 'Food Network' would have been far more beneficial to his arguement because they were made particularly for the reason to teach the viewers.
       With this being said, those who watch educational televison .. Claps on the back for you because you are retaining what you watch.
