What impact does television have on people's lives? To find out the answer to this question, an unusual experiment was carried out recently. A group of forty-four families were asked to keep away from their television for one month. The families were studied to see how their lives were affected by not being able to watch TV during this period. Four of the families found that family life could not continue without TV, and they dropped out of the experiment.
