Television and Film

For the children in the Child of Our Time programme, television viewing was not excessive, as can be seen in Figure 3:

Figure 3: Amount of television viewing

These figures contrast with the viewing figures identified by BBC Daily Life (2004), which cites that four year olds spend 3 hours and 56 minutes in front of the television. Of course, time spent in front of the television does not equate to viewing time for young children; according to the same report, only by the age of seven to eight do children begin to spend longer periods of time actually viewing television. In addition, young children are far from passive when watching television. Figure 4 indicates that the children in this study, although they sat quietly for some of the time, also engaged in a range of other activities when watching television.

This graph would suggest that the children are not simply passive viewers of television, as presented by some analysts of the media age. Interviews with the parents confirmed this: …the other film they love is ‘George of the Jungle’. They went through a whole phase about a year ago just…any time their friends came they just…and they would all end up stripping down to their underpants and in the front room just jumping from one… and being Tarzan…they would do it the whole time, so I think there are lots of things like that where they do get physical.

As this interview indicates, many children engage in imaginative play based on their favourite television and film characters and programmes, which is important in promoting language and creative expression. In this and other studies, parents outlined a range of knowledge, skills and understanding they felt children had gained from watching television, including songs, words, social skills and knowledge about other cultures. However, although watching television does enhance children’s lives in many ways, parents and carers do need to monitor the amount their children are watching. There are no firm guidelines on this as each situation is different, but children should be encouraged to engage in a wide range of activities in one day, rather than focusing on one.

Computers
Many young children are now competent in the use of computers from a young age, including console games such as PlayStation or XBox. Some parents worry about the effects on their children, but studies have shown that computer games, including console games, can develop a range of skills such as hand-eye co-ordination, parallel processing skills (the ability to take in information from a number of sources at once), problem-solving skills and visual skills. Again, moderation is advised, but appropriate use of computers should be encouraged, given how important new technology is going to be in the lives of the current young generation. As they get older, society will rely increasingly on technologies and so the more skills and experience they have with computers from a young age, the better they will be able to navigate these worlds.

Conclusion
The children in the BBC Child of Our Time series undertook a wide range of technological practices, including using websites, chat rooms, watching parents send text messages, playing with electronic toys and using interactive television. Children’s interests in popular culture and media also promoted interest in reading and writing. The children often wanted to read books based on their favourite characters or programmes and used lots of computer games related to these interests, which can enhance learning. Therefore, instead of being viewed in a largely negative light, these findings suggest that children’s media interests can be harnessed in a positive way to foster early language and literacy development and to develop the skills needed for the twenty first century.
