A fact.

According to a study by the center what is named after the creator of Sesame Street, Joan Ganz Cooney. According to the report released this week and was based on seven studies that sought to define the habits that new generations have the time to entertain, kids are becoming more connected to the Internet and digital media, including use over one at a time.

Almost 25% of children (aged 0 to 5 years) watching videos on the Internet at least once a week and not necessarily through a computer, if not mobile phones or video consoles are transported anywhere. 50% of children under 6 years frequently used video games. And more than 35% of children between 2 and 11 years old watch television while surfing the internet.
Centre report is not intended to answer the uncomfortable question of whether so much time spent on the small screen is good or bad for children. Only gives a recipe: moderation. "My mother used to tell me much of anything is not good, either eat only protein, shooting balls all day or stay connected to the digital world," says Dr. Lewis Bernstein, chief executive of Sesame Workshop, which works in the study .

When Joan Ganz Cooney, Sesame Street was created in 1969 with the objective of meeting the educational needs of the most disadvantaged children from low-income urban families, was far from imagining that now Elmo would be accessed via something called the Internet. Bert and Ernie and Kermit the Frog and Coco have turned 40 and today's children do not grow just watching them on television, although the study stating that it remains the most used by them and against which pass near three hours daily. The world today is different. Full of iPhones, iPads, Droids ... I only educated generations will not exist in the world of Sesame Street, who grew up under that programa.Personas that as the current U.S. president, Barack Obama, not only be the first black president U.S, if not proudly bearing the title given by Time magazine as the first president of Sesame Street.
