This book will answer your question.

TLDR:

  • kids (and adults) get addicted, moody, hyperactive, go through withdrawal without TV

  • attention span and ability to delay gratification are diminished

  • watching TV the brain goes into a "passive" state that doesn't occur while reading, this state is not actually relaxing (actually low-level stress)...

    That's off the top of my head, there's definitely more.

Edit: Just curios, what language do you consider your mother tongue? What is your ethnicity? Don't want to sound intrusive, but this kind of stuff gets my curiosity going.

Happily, though I'm afraid it doesn't have much in the way of new information it does have some nice snippets that didn't make it into the documentary as I recall (been a while since I read it):

Aaaand there's another that seems even better but I haven't gotten my mitts on it yet.
