Television Posters ? Have Your Favorite TV Characters Peeping at You From the Walls is a post from: Cam TV Usa

Television (televisores) can be a very useful academic tool, and has been used in the classroom for academic purposes since the 1970`s. The television programmes are used to assist children in various subject areas, and are used alongside other teaching materials, to give a well rounded approach to learning materials. This has proved successful as children prefer learning visually at a young age. In the past, few programmes were designed for this purpose. However, with the extent of research that has gone into children`s television (televisores) and the input of governing bodies such as the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission, this attitude has changed.

Research into the effects of television (televisores) on children`s behaviour and performance has been in place since the 1950`s. However, with the formation of the Action for Children`s Television society in 1970, the research has been extensive and covering a variety of areas. The importance of the content of children`s television has created governing bodies on each television network to make sure they are fulfilling their public responsibility. The research is weighted against product demand, current issues and education, and aims to make sure that all characters are good role models. This includes removing stereotyping and encouraging social tolerance.

As a result, regular television (televisores) now consistently shows programmes of an educational nature. These programmes can easily be found on channels such as national geographic, discovery, and the learning channel, as well as on general stations worldwide. It was the well known children`s television programme Sesame Street that was first broadcast in 1969 that changed the face of educational TV for children. It showed that children do not only learn through informative documentary style programmes but that they learn skills by modelling positive behaviours on television.

Research has found that repetition is central to a child`s education, and this applies to educational television viewing also. It states that reruns are useful as they create recognisable characters and situations which help children to learn about cause and effect, sequencing and also improve their understanding of people and the world around them. Children`s television programmes are repeated up to four times a year to maximise the potential, though of course, this also assists with costs.

Another useful feature of television is that it tackles difficult questions in the areas of morality and ethics. Through the medium of television (televisores), children are exposed to ideas and made aware of cultures that they can not necessarily experience for themselves. Television also assists with topics that are tricky to approach such as bereavement and bullying. As the subject is raised outside of the child`s environment, then it can be easier for them to discuss and deliberate over these subjects, particularly if they are relevant to their own experiences. Television is a popular medium of choice for conveying such ideas in classrooms around the world.

A final point to consider is that television (televisores) is a visually stimulating medium and is of interest to children. Therefore, it can be used to assist reluctant learners by creating interest and removing pressure that can accompany traditional learning techniques.

Television (televisores) is a useful educational tool if used correctly and in moderation. Television can assist with academic learning and also their social and emotional development. Although more research is needed, it is the attitude towards television and its uses that creates a successful environment in which children can learn.

Read online television buying tips written by experts before you actually make a purchase.

8 Advantages you Should Know Before Buying a Television Online is a post from: Cam TV Usa

Television is a tool. If we use it wisely, it can educate and entertain. There are excellent shows like Sesame Street, Blues Clues, Discovery, History, and shows on hobbies like cooking. When age appropriate, TV can expand our children’s horizons.   But most TV is limiting our children. The following is a summary of the research and more importantly, suggestions of things we as parents can do to minimize and mitigate the damage. Keep in mind that the following also applies to computer use, music videos, DVD’s, etc.

The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry states that television viewing can be a powerful influence in developing value systems and shaping behavior. Most of us are aware that Sesame Street teaches children who are ready for it, letters and numbers. Mr. Rogers teaches pro-social values. But many of us forget that by the same token, ALL television programs are teaching our children something.  And when we take a close look at what most programs are teaching our children, it can be rather scary. Research on children’s behavior, school performance, weight, sleeping habits, and brain development back up the assertion that TV is harming our children.

Violent Behavior – Literally thousands of studies have looked at whether there is a link between exposure to media violence and violent behavior. Over 98% say yes.  The evidence from the research is overwhelming.   According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, “Extensive research evidence indicates that media violence can contribute to aggressive behavior, desensitization to violence, nightmares, and fear of being harmed.” Children become immune to the horror of violence, gradually accept violence as a way to solve problems, imitate violence they observe on TV, and identify with characters (victims or victimizers) they see on TV.

Research has shown that the more hours children spend watching TV, the more likely they are to display aggressive impulses and hostile feelings. This effect has been found to apply whether the televised behavior is performed by a human or by a cartoon character. And aggressive impulses have been found to occur with girls as well as boys and with teenagers and adults as well as children.

Many parents think that since they grew up on violent cartoons and turned out alright, their children will also. But studies have found that the amount of violence has increased dramatically and the type of violence has changed. It is now more pervasive, more sinister, and more frighteningly realistic.

And the effect is lasting.  Watching TV at age four was one factor found to be associated with bullying in grade school.

Other Behaviors – Kids who watch more TV start smoking at an earlier age. Television viewing was a stronger influence on starting smoking than peer smoking or parental smoking.

Exposure to alcohol use on TV and in music videos (such as on MTV) is a risk factor for increased drinking in adolescents.  Exposure to sexual content increases the likelihood that children will become sexually active earlier in life.

School Performance – Research has a lot to say about television and school performance. Television viewing may replace activities that we know help with school performance, such as reading, doing homework, pursuing hobbies, and getting enough sleep. Television’s effects on education are long term – positive and negative. Studies have found the following:

Children who watched exclusively educational TV as preschoolers had higher grades, less aggression, and placed more value on academics than those who watched all kinds of TV.

Children who watched little television before the age of three had significantly better scores in math and reading at age six.

Watching television as a child affected educational achievement at age 26. Watching more television in childhood increased chances of dropping out of school and decreased chances of getting a college degree, even after controlling for confounding factors.

Children who watched a lot of violent television at age 5½, defined as cartoons and G-rated movies, had lower grade point averages in English, math, and science in high school. Each hour per day viewing for kids 5 – 15 was associated with a 30% reduction in likelihood of obtaining a college degree even with IQ and parent’s level of education taken into account.

Children under 2½ who watched Sesame Street (the version designed for 3-5 year olds) showed a slower rate of language acquisition than those who didn’t.  Shows such as Power Rangers and Teletubbies slow children’s development in vocabulary, reading and math skills.

Weight – TV is one factor in childhood obesity. Studies have shown that the more TV watched, the more likelihood of a child being overweight. Having a TV in a child’s bedroom increases the chances of obesity even more. The more TV watched as a child the higher weight, serum cholesterol, poor fitness and likelihood of smoking in adults. Girls who watch a lot of TV are at increased risk of developing eating disorders.

Sleep/Relaxation – TV viewing leads to sleep problems, especially if viewed right before bedtime. Many of us have the idea that TV is relaxing. I know I did.  And while we are viewing it, it is relaxing, although not as relaxing as reading a book.  But studies show that a person is less relaxed after the TV is turned off than they were before it went on. And they are less relaxed than people who completed a physical activity or a calmer activity like reading or playing cards.

Brain Development – Research on early brain development and TV is not clear. Many studies link early television viewing with later attention problems, such as ADHD. Other experts disagree with these results. However, most researchers agree with the American Academy of Pediatrics when they state that children aged 2 and younger should have NO screen time. Children older than that should be limited to 1-2 hours per day of nonviolent, educational programming.

So what’s a parent to do?  How do we help our children develop positive television viewing habits? How do we teach our children to view television as a treat or special entertainment – especially when we may not view television that way ourselves? How can we help mitigate TV’s negative effects in a world inundated by TV? Many of the following suggestions come from the American Academy of Pediatrics.

Observe – How do our children act after watching various TV shows?  Are they more violent? Are they more likely to have nightmares?  Do these behaviors decrease when we decrease/eliminate TV viewing for a period of time? Or when we eliminate certain shows? Short term effects are easier to observe – long term effects are far more muddled.

Listen – What are our children saying after viewing different shows?  What do they seem to be feeling?  Reflect back to them what you think they are saying or feeling. This may help them and you clarify their thoughts and feelings.  Do they understand what happened? Very often children miss the story line completely or get a different view than adults anticipate. It is easier to address children’s feelings and perceptions in a calm, factual way after we have truly listened to what they are.

Ask questions, and listen some more – Questions can help our children think about what they’ve seen, process it, and clarify values. Questions, adjusted for age, might include: Are characters mad, sad, scared?  Who might be hurt?  How do you think they feel now?  Would someone get hurt if they did that in real life? (Often children, especially those under 8, can’t distinguish fantasy and reality.)  What would happen if you tried that?  What safety equipment do you think is there but not shown? (Sometimes even older children mimic behavior shown on reality TV shows).  Did anyone break things?  Who is going to fix it?  Why do you think that character hurt the other?  What could be done instead without hurting anyone?  What would you do if you were that character?  Does the character look unnaturally thin? How many people really look like that in real life?

Listen and share views – Was there a moral to the story and did your children get it?  Was there no moral to the story or no consequences and do our children think they can get away with unacceptable behavior because their favorite character did?  Tie the story into your family’s values.  Studies show that in areas where a child does not know his/her parents’ point of view and has little knowledge or experience to use as guidelines, television can clearly influence beliefs, attitudes, and behavior. Point out that although the actor has not actually been hurt or killed, such violence in real life results in pain or death.  For older children/teens, use controversial programming as a stepping-off point to initiate discussions about family values, violence, sex and sexuality, and drugs.  Reinforce positive behaviors and positive nutritional messages seen on TV. Present alternatives to violence.

Challenge claims of advertisements – will they really make you happier, more popular, sexier. Explain what the purpose of advertising is.

Acknowledge children’s need to feel grown up and current with the latest TV shows.  This doesn’t mean letting them watch shows you are not comfortable with, it means letting them know you realize their desires.

Reduce/Eliminate screen time – Discourage television viewing for children younger than 2 years, and encourage more interactive activities that will promote proper brain development, such as talking, playing, singing, and reading together.  Be aware of second-hand television – younger children watching shows their older siblings or parents watch.  It is okay to say that some programs are just for grown ups. This could include news – which can be traumatic for younger children, quiz shows, reality shows.

Limit children’s total screen time (TV, videos, computer games) to no more than 1 to 2 hours of quality programming per day. Again monitoring is crucial. The V-chip is industry regulated, and very loose in interpretation. Often programs that purport to be educational, really aren’t. Eliminating or reducing TV on school nights sends the message that school is more important than TV.

Monitor – Monitor the shows children and adolescents are viewing.  Most programs should be informational, educational, and nonviolent. Choose shows that engage through challenging and interesting content, rather than flashy graphics and noise.   Make sure programs are age and developmentally appropriate. Do your children pay attention and interact with the program? If not, it may be too complicated or too easy.

If you haven’t put a TV in your child’s bedroom, don’t.  If there is already a TV there, consider removing it.  Studies show that children with a TV in the bedroom watch over an hour more TV per day than children who don’t.  And it is far more difficult/impossible to monitor and discuss program content if the TV is in the bedroom.

Refuse to let children see shows known to be violent. Change the channel or turn off the TV when offensive material comes on. Make sure you give an explanation of why. If you choose to view a violent show with your children, stress the belief that violence is not the best way to resolve a problem.

Minimize the scary stuff, especially programs that glamorize or sexualize violence – even (especially?) for tweens and teens. If you choose to watch violence, make sure there are real consequences.

Talk to other parents – While you can control viewing at home, unless the screen is in a bedroom, you cannot control what is viewed at other homes unless you are in contact and agreement with those parents. Similar rules help minimize peer pressure.

Plan TV viewing – Do you control TV – or does TV control your family life?  Does TV bring your family together or pull it apart?  How much TV do your children watch?  Does your guess include TV watched at friends, at daycare, in their bedroom, after you are asleep, watching what another family member is watching? What is the content and quality of the programs your children watch? What is the context of what they watch?  Is TV on in the background so one eye is on TV and the other on trying to hold a conversation?  Do you channel surf out of boredom or intentionally choose a program?  Is this the result you want?  Most parents don’t know the answers to or haven’t really thought about these questions.  Keeping a TV diary for a couple of weeks will help answer these questions and get you started towards mindful viewing. Mindful viewing means treating TV as the tool it is and consciously using it to help your children, not harm them.

Use the videocassette recorder wisely to show or record high-quality, educational programming for children.

Consider going cold turkey – Studies of families going without TV for a period of time find that after the initial withdrawal symptoms – and they saw anxiety, depression, and aggressiveness for the first 3 days – found that by the end of two weeks, families had adjusted and replaced TV time with other activities.  Families tried new things.  They found exciting alternatives. Most added TV back into their lives, but did so in a limited, less obtrusive, more thinking way.

Model behavior – If you want your children to view TV mindfully, you will need to set an example.

Provide alternatives – When your child says I’m bored, does it become your problem? Or is it an incentive for your child to be creative? Are the raw materials for creativity available?

Even educational TV is no substitute for active play.  Children need to spend considerable amount of time in active play.  They need active communication, talking and listening to peers and adults, especially their parents.

Encourage alternative entertainment for children, including reading, athletics, hobbies, and creative play.

What are some things you can do together? Can you prepare dinner together? Can your child play in the kitchen with the pots and pans while you get dinner? What activities are available that you can do together? Can you play board games or cards together (altering rules so younger children have a chance)? Often newspapers or websites have lists of inexpensive or free activities that can be done as a family.

Make your children part of the planning process.  They may come up with all kinds of fun things you might not think of. And it will make them more invested in the process of more mindful TV viewing. Your family could make a boredom jar.  When your children say they are bored, they get to pick something from the jar that they must do.  It can be something fun or it can be a chore. The fact that it might be a chore encourages them to find their own solutions to boredom.

And no, I haven’t tossed the TV out the window yet, but we are trying to be more mindful viewers.

Screen size is important because it decides how close or far you can sit from the television. Usually the larger a screen is, the more it costs. If you are going to sit closer to a smaller television, then you don’t have to spend more money for a larger screen. Most televisions that are sold now are wide-screen and high definition televisions (HDTV). Wide screens that show HDTV surpass regular televisions because you are able to sit closer and they provide a more theater like picture. The picture will look poor when you sit too close, so you should sit as close 1.5 times the screen’s measurement diagonally when viewing a wide screen showing HDTV. When viewing a regular television it is best not to sit closer than two times the measurement diagonally in inches.

Display Types:

Direct view televisions, also known as CRT, are the older televisions that most people are familiar with. These tube-type sets use cathode-ray tubes to display images on the screen. Direct view televisions are good because from any position in the room the picture is bright and clear. They also are reasonably priced, offer good pictures with strong colors, and you can expect for the great picture quality to last for at least five years. On the other hand, the screen size is limited to 40-inches and they are heavy and bulky.

There two types of flat panel television are plasma and liquid crystal display (LCD).
Plasma televisions create an image by using thousands of tiny illuminating fluorescent lights. In order to display broadcast signals plasmas require an external television tuner. Plasmas have higher resolutions than direct view televisions because their displays are digital. Plasma televisions can be conveniently mounted on the ceiling or the wall or positioned on a stand. They also have a slim outline and a large screen size. However plasma televisions have a weak black level, which is the ability to depict the color black and they can be damaged by long displays of static images. Plasmas are also somewhat expensive.

LCD televisions remind you of your laptop computer screen, but just in a larger version. They are slimmer than plasma televisions, but they also require an external tuner. LCD televisions have a thin profile, since they are about two inches thick. They are also great televisions to play video games on because the LCD images are bright and sharp. Still LCD televisions have poor black level, limited screen size, images might not appear as accurate like on a plasma, and they can be fairly expensive.

Projection televisions are another option. They feature clear and brilliant pictures, are not heavy, and not harmed by humidity, heat, or vibration. However, they only come in big screen sizes, must sit away from wall, and require good ventilation.

Ultimately your budget plays a key role in buying a television because your budget decides what type of television you can afford

Currently, the main technologies that led to the producing of 3D video and images on televisions include:

- Polarization 3D, which using lenses that are polarized passively
- Shutter lenses, which are active with alternate frame sequence patterns
- Autostereoscopic lensless displays, or Auto 3D, as it is known to commercial dealers
- Anaglyphic 3D, which is the more common of the technologies and uses the glasses to process

The most utilized of the technologies is the Stereoscopy method, which uses a “two-view” setup. This setup uses cameras that are positioned next to each other to simulate the distance between a person’s eyes then projects two different two different views; one for each eye thus creating the 3D effect.

The modern television sets that make use of the 3D technology still needs the use of special glasses to make the 3D images appear, however these televisions do not constantly transmit the images in 3D; they can switch back and forth between 2D and 3D as needed. Some popular modern 3D televisions include Panasonic, Texas Instruments, Sony and LG, among others. In fact, the LG 3D television was just announced on June 8 2010 as the first ever full LED HDTV that is 3D ready.

The refresh rate of the televisions is typically higher than regular televisions and requires a minimum of 120Hz, however the higher the refresh rate is on a 3D television, the better the 3D effect will appear. This is because the refresh rate is divided between both eyes. For example, the 120Hz refresh rate will project at 60Hz for each eye through the glasses. Even at the lowest refresh rate of 120Hz, these type of televisions still have a refresh rate twice as high as any of the older or “outdated” technologies used in others than 2D televisions do. These televisions also offer the highest resolutions available at either 720p or 1080p.

Additionally, to gain the full HD 2D experience, the user 3D television watcher should utilize a full HD 3D Blu-ray player in conjunction with the television. This will offer not only the best in technology, but also the highest 3D capable viewing experience possible in modern times, in conjunction with a disk made especially for 3D viewing and compatible glasses.

In recent months, many cable and satellite providers have started broadcasting television shows and movies in 3D, so those customers with these type of televisions now have a choice of programming as well as the DVDs and Blu-ray disks. 3D televisions have certainly come a long way since the 1920′s, however while the basic viewing technology has changed, the base 3D technology has not

Modern Television Sets Makes Use of 3D Technology is a post from: Cam TV Usa

The crazy thing about this new change to digital televisions is that everyone is pretty much being forced to eventually accept the change. In the earlier analog television one has the option to change only the color and nothing else. What will happen is that you will bid adieu to your old analog TV by either watching the television on the digital one or stop watching television totally. This is not a problem for a lot of people as they are very happy with the clarity of the digital television than the earlier analog one.

One needs to have the appropriate equipment to be able to watch television on the digital TV. It is a choice that one wants to make from so many varieties that are present like terrestrial reception digital cable TV or the satellite TV. It is the digital terrestrial TV that is the latest craze as a lot of people are preferring it now. An upgrade for the digital television services will be required which can be quite difficult for some people that have problems getting a good signal in their area of town. This is the downside about digital terrestrial television; it is not certain to work in all areas, especially areas that do not have a large population in that particular region.

Another modification to the equipment of the digital television is the addition of the digital tuners. The tuners of the digital television are quite different from that of the analog television. There is a tuner present inside the normal televisions and the VCR. The way that digital television works will require you to not only have a new digital television, but you will also need to upgrade to a digital VCR as well for compatibility reasons. You will also need to find the right digital television service to subscribe too. You can also get more than one tuner and a video recording set from reputable companies. Due to the advancement in the recording technology one can see a particular program and yet record another program that they do not want to miss.

As you can see so far, there are some great benefits and more options with digital television. In case you are not happy about the switch after acceptance you will still feel that it was a lot better than your analog television. There will be no better way to enjoy watching television than on this even if one ahs to spend a little more in buying the new equipment. Another thing to take note of on the positive side is that you will receive a lot more channels because digital television has a low bandwidth.

Digital Tuners: A Must While Switching From Regular To Digital Television is a post from: Cam TV Usa

In the tried and tested conventional televisions that most of us have grown up with, the technology used is known as the cathode ray tube technology. A cathode gun fires electrons, which, when charged and excited, tend to form an image on a glass screen. These images form as pixels in the three basic colors, which when combined can produce millions of colors. While the technology itself has been fine tuned and developed through the ages to give us great television monitors, there are certain limitations to what the conventional cathode ray tube television can do.

For one thing, being built of glass, the screen of the cathode ray tube or conventional television has a size limitation. Most conventional televisions which use the cathode ray tube technology are less than 42 inches in size. This size is not the height or width of the television, but the diagonal distance between one end and the other. So, the biggest conventional television you can have is around 42 inches. Conventional televisions are bulky, restricted in image size and confined to the limitations of the box they are built in. This makes them big, and in some cases impossible to fit into your living room.

This is where newer display technologies have resulted in better, modern televisions like the plasma television. In a plasma television, the older cathode ray tube technology is left behind in favor of an atomic technology. Our ability to manipulate and control the behavior of atomic particles has also enables us to enhance our viewing experience. This is the technology that a plasma television uses. A plasma, is a gas that contains freely flowing ions and electrons. When an electric charge is passed through this plasma, photons are released, which then provide illumination. The rest of the technology in plasma televisions is concentrated on using this illumination to create the three primary colors and to display them as images. Just as the cathode ray tube televisions use different intensities of particles to produce differing colors, the plasma television also varies the intensity of the illumination to produce color changes. Which is why, while using a plasma television, more numbers of colors can be seen.

The plasma television removes or negates most of the drawbacks of the conventional television. For one thing, size is no longer a restriction, as the bulky cathode ray tube has been done away with. For another, bulky boxes are not required and the plasma television can be as thin as you could have imagined it. Most plasma televisions nowadays appear more or less like works of art hanging in your living room. So adopt the plasma television today and see how innovations in display have enhanced the quality of our entertainment!

1) If show is written to the consumer in mind, then it takes people “through emotions of conflict resolution” or whatever. which in turn is almost like giving them an experience that the can build on in their actual lives.

However, the arrival of the flat screen has brought with a range of variations in the same technology which can often be confusing and times simply baffling.  We now have plasma, LCD, DLP and HDTV.  But what we all want to know is what do they mean and which one is best.

To analyse each peice of new television technolog we shall treat them equally by listing them in alphabetical order:

DLP. Digital Light Processing was originally used as a processing of controlling projectors which uses minute mirrors to reflect the correct colour of light to form a solid colour.  DLP is far less common than LCD and plasma but it does have the benefit of offering being much safer and reliable than other television technologies.  The technology also means that burn-in is not an issue and DLP system using a powerful processor can create an incredibly fine picture even for fast moving screen images.

HDTV.  This is a measurement of picture quality which is continuing to play an ever more important role in the sale of televisions.  When flat screen televisions exploded onto the market there was little consideration from consumers into the picture quality and resolution. However, television manufacturers are coming under pressure to produce high definition television screens with ever smaller pixels for the cheapest price possible.

LCD.  LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display.  It is essentially the same technology which were used in childrens hand held games however they have developed in very large and picture quality screens which can display fast moving objects with precise clarity.  They are also one of the most energy efficient TV technologies and are now leading the race of plasma.  The technology use tiny crystal to twist into milions of different shapes to display the diffent colours to make up the image on the screen.

Plasma.  Plasma televisions use an array of gas which are energised in a certain format to create the colours necessary to form the picture on the screen.  Plasma was also the orignal material for flat screen televisions however it is now gathering a very bad reputation due to its poor environmental credentials as the television uses far more energy than alternatives such as LCD.  Concerns over its use of energy is growing so bad that certain states in America are banning the sale of plasma of televisions.  It is also rumoured that China may ban the sale of plasma in a bid to improve its environmental image and diffuse concerns over its growing number of coal power stations.

For those looking to purchase a new television it is strongly advisable to avoid plasma televisions.  Not do they use more energy but there resale value could also drop heavily if its ban continues to grow.  Some of the leading manufacturers and original developers of plasma televisions are already stopping the production of these televisions.

In summary, you should simply avoid plasma as an option for a television and select an LCD television.  LCD televisions have come down in price rapidly since they first hit the market with some prices falling by as much as twenty percent in one year.

You should also search around and looking for the television within your budget which offers the best screen resolution has picture quality.  Altough soon we will also be looking to purchase 3D televisions!
