Study Shows TV Makes Kids Fat, Computers Don't 276
Xemu writes "Computers don't make children fat, but watching TV for the same length of time does. This is shown by a recent Swedish study of all school children in Lund's county conducted by RN Pernilla Garmy. The results were clear: The child's obesity was directly affected by placing a TV in the child's room, but placing a computer in the room had no effect at all. One theory is that it's common to have a snack in front of the TV, while a computer requires a more active user, for example when chatting or playing games."

I took my 4.5 year-olds on their first visit to Air & Space when we happened to be
near Washington last weekend. SpaceShipOne was hanging in the main entrance hall,
but it was under wraps. The shape is distinctive, but I was disappointed that we
couldn't actually see it.
