Watching TV Makes You Smarter

In the article of Steven Johnson," Watching TV Makes You Smarter" he believes that watching TV or play video games make people smarter. He argues that earlier shows only follow one or two character and they were very simple. The shows that people watch in these days are more complex and follow one to ten character in witch the show really make you pay close attention to see what is going on. I honestly disagree with his argument that if we watch TV you are gonna be smart. Even though some of the shows that we watch on  TV can be sometimes entertain and maybe can give us a difference perspective about the world. I probably agree that when we are watching a show we a making a cognitive with the show in which we are taking the information and process in our brains, and we are paying close attention to what they character in the show are doing and how they solve their problems. According to Johnson people can learn the skill or solving problem watching TV, but one of the things that it is different between a show and the real world. It is that in a show when they characters have a problem they make look like it so easy to solve a problem, but in real life it is not that easy. I will agree with Johnson article if he will say that if people watch show if witch they are gathering information that are value for them.
