The mind also changes. Remember Marty Stoufer, (SP), Mutual of Omaha Animal Kingdom, both shows showed slow action, quiet stalks, quiet narratives, etc.? Today, the channel would be changed because it "moves to slow". Point-click and instant gratification is here to stay.

Seseme Street, Telletubbies, (which from the point of many educators) is quite good for the 3-6 year olds. Repeated stories, repeated vinettes, etc., who has not held a small child and when the story book is finished, they say, "read it again."

Sesame Street held attention for 8-12 seconds, Barney changed the theme or image every 4-6 seconds with a jump, laugh, gag, image change.

We're doomed.....

Think I'll start teaching brain tanning and flint knapping to little kids.
