A recent survey conducted on 707 families with one child by a group of American researchers and published in the magazine "Science" has proved that time spent on the internet television is closely related to later aggressive behavior, especially for the age interval 16 and 22 years. Similar remarks are made in France by the Kriegel report, which states that there are effects of internet television violence upon children, young people, and adults. This effect is proportional with the time spent online. You can frequently read press news stating that a teenager hangs himself according to a model seen on the internet; a 13-year-old boy stabs lethally his little sister, 6 years old after watching a horror movie online.



Another teenager attacks a petrol station following instructions taken from the internet. Besides, an 18-year-old boy rapes a 7-year-old girl, and then he declares innocently that he saw a similar scene on the internet television. If a child only watches violent programs, they will make him switch from normal to pathologic. Therefore, internet television owners, who have been able to do so many improvements in order to obtain success, can do some magic and prohibit such programs if children or people who are not stable from the psychical point of view access them.

If you really want to live in a healthy world, before releasing a new internet television, you must think of the target audience very well, in order not to trigger unwanted consequences, which can make you regret your initiative. After all, internet television owners are humans too!

Internet television researchers have started from the elementary hypothesis that online television can attract more viewers than newspapers' readers. In order to watch a new video, people give up to other activities related to family, church, school, friends or books. Internet television is nowadays the most active modeler of attitudes and mentalities.

Most of the people do not read any newspapers and for them online television is the only source of information. To continue with, 95% of high school students watch internet television every day, and out them only 8.7% read something every day. Therefore, internet television owns a de facto monopoly upon modeling the mind of a very important part of the population. Furthermore, if we highlight the diversity of entertainment programs and their content, one can say that sometimes internet television eliminates pertinent information, which is necessary to any adult. Actually, statistics as well have provided the result according to which young people spend on average 175 minutes in front of the computer screen per day, whereas adults, 240 minutes, only for entertainment purposes. Under such circumstances, people in general, not only young ones, need guidance concerning internet television programs.

The bad news is that in prime time violence covers 90% of the programs. On the other hand, if there is no violence, sometimes people are provided cheap humor and low quality music. Statistics conclude too that this low quality music is highly appreciated by 40% of high school students. Such music can be described as rhythm mixed with sexual connotations. Therefore, it is high time internet televisions thought of quality first, and then of profit.
