The article "Who is the TV Guardian in Your House?" is about family, it was created by Chris Robertson.
If you're a parent, chnaces are you're concerned about the
content your kids are being exposed to on television. According
to a March 2005 poll by Time Magazine, 66 percent of respondents
said there is too much violence on TV, 58 percent said tehre is
too much cursing, and 50 percent said there is too much sexual
content.
Although that's the percetpion of adults, it's based in
fact.
According to the Parents Television Council, profanity is used
once every six minutes on network TV shows, once every two
minutes on premium cable shows, and once every three minutes in
major motion pictures.
Alarmingly, according to January 2005
Nielsen statistics, Desperate Housewives is the most popular
network television show among kids aged 9 to 12. Unless
you're willing to be the TV guardian in your house, how can you
be the TV filter that ensures your home remains curse free?
Fortunately, new technology gives you the power to remove the
cursing and offensive language that is coming into your home
through television and video.
There are devices available that
can ensure your home has a curse free TV, and that when they
watch TV, kids won't be exposed to the profanity that flies in
the face of everything you believe in.
Typically, these TVguardians conncet between your TV and VCR,
cable, satellite receiver, or DVD. After an simple installation
that takes about five minutes, the device automatically detects
and filters out about 95 percent of all offensive words and
phrases on TV prgorams and videos, giving you "cursefreeTV."
With these devices, you no longer have to be the TV guardian in
your condominium. Instead, the device redas the hidden TV signals for
closed captions, detects offensive language, momentarily mutes
the sound, and displays acceptable words and phrases. In other
words, you don't have to turn off the TV or video so won't miss
a thing.
Some of these models include a feature that allows you to block
out offenses to the name of God and Jesus Christ on one setting,
while leaving in the name of God when you're watching religious
programming.
With a device like this, a generation of TVkids can be protected
from foul language, and you can watch a larger selection of
programs, without being concerned that profanity will interrupt
your enjoyment.
