Turning off TV: a Quiet Hour
I would like to propose that for sixty to ninety minutes each evening, right after the early evening news, all television broadcasting in the United States be prohibited by law.
Let us take a serious, reasonable look at what the results be if such a proposal were accepted. Families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction of TV, they might sit around together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our problems -- everything, in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of mental illness -- are caused at least in part by failure to communicate. We do not tell each other what is disturbing us. The result is emotional difficulty of one kind or another. By using the quiet family hour to discuss our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better.
On evenings when such talk is unnecessary, families could rediscover more active pastimes. Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a ride together to watch the sunset. Or they might take a walk together (remember feet?) and see the neighborhood with fresh, new eyes.
With free time and no TV, children and adults might rediscover reading. There is more entertainment in a good book than in a month of typical TV programming. Educators report that the generation growing up with television can barely write an English sentence, even at the college level. Writing is often learned from reading. A more literate new generation could be a product of the quiet hour.
A different form of reading might also be done, as it was in the past: reading aloud. Few pastimes bring a family closer together than gathering around and listening to mother or father read a good story. The quiet hour could become the story hour. When the quiet hour ends, the TV networks might even be forced to come up with better shows in order to get us back from our newly discovered activities.
At first glance, the idea of an hour without TV seems radical. What will parents do without the electronic baby-sitter? How will we spend the time? But it is not radical at all. It has been only twenty-five years since television came to control American free time. Those of us thirty-five and older can remember childhoods without television, spent partly with radio -- which at least involved the listener's imagination -- but also with reading, learning, talking, playing games, inventing new activities. It wasn't that difficult. Honest. The truth is we had a ball。 展开

关掉电视：安静一小时我想提出的是六十至九十分钟每个晚上，右后的晚间新闻，所有的电视广播在美国是被法律禁止的。让我们认真对待，合理看看结果会接受这样一个建议。千家万户也许会利用这段时间真正的家。没有电视机的干扰，他们可能会在饭后围坐在一起谈心。众所周知，我们的许多问题——一切，事实上，从代沟、高离婚率到某些精神病——至少部分地是由于缺乏交流而引起的。我们不告诉彼此是什么在困扰着我们。其结果是这样或那样的情感问题。用安静的家庭小时讨论我们的问题，我们可以更好地了解彼此，并且更喜欢对方。如果没有交谈的必要，家庭会重新发现更积极的消遣。摆脱电视，被迫寻找自己的活动，他们可能会一起骑车去看日落。或者他们可能一起散步（记得脚？）并用新看到附近的居民，新的眼睛。有了空闲时间和没有电视，儿童和成人可以看书。在一本好书中有超过一个月的典型电视节目更多的娱乐。教育家们报告说，伴随着电视机长大的一代人几乎写一句英语句子，甚至在大学的水平。写作往往是通过阅读学会。一个有文化的新一代可以安静的时刻产品。不同形式的阅读也可以，因为它是在过去：朗读。很少消遣使一家人聚在一起越听爸爸或妈妈读一个好故事。安静的时刻会成为这个故事。当它结束的时候，电视网络可能被迫拿出更好的节目，以便让我们回到我们的新发现的活动。乍一看，停播电视一小时的想法似乎有些激进。父母没有电子保姆会怎样？我们该如何打发时间？但它是不是急进。它已经从电视开始控制美国的自由时间只有二十五年。我们这些三十五岁以上的人可以记得童年没有电视，收音机花了部分——至少牵涉听众的想象力——而且读书，学习，聊天，玩游戏，创造新的活动。这并不难。诚实的。事实是我们有一个球。
