From the Paper:

"In the modern era, many people have a decidedly negative view of television and its supposed effects on those who watch too much of it. For instance, it is a largely held belief that television has deleterious effects on teenagers, particularly on those who watch it a great deal. For such a strongly held belief, however, there is very little empirical evidence in existence to support such a claim. In actuality, television's effect on young people is a very mixed one, with both benefits and detriments that can be pointed out and which have been studied."
