Watch TV to Build Your Brain
The heck you say!
No, it’s true, at least according to Steven Johnson, author of Everything Bad is Good for You: How Today’s Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter. Of course, you can’t watch just any ol’ television tripe; you’ll need to watch shows with complex plots that force you to pay attention and work a bit to figure out what the heck is happening. Shows such as E.R., Lost, and Flash Forward should fit the bill.
A sparing application of boob-tube therapy may be just what the psychologist ordered. So watch a little TV guilt free.
