A new study says that parents see TV and the internet the same...when it comes to using it as punishment. Hell, my kid has so much electronic crap that I just go throw the breaker to his room when I want his attention.
The survey from the USC Annenberg Center for the Digital Future found that two-thirds of parents say they restrict their kids' access to TV as punishment, a number that has barely budged over the past 10 years. But the percentage of parents who limit Internet access as a form of punishment has nearly doubled in the last decade. Among parents surveyed this spring, 57 percent said they withheld Web access to punish their kids. That is up from 32 percent in 2000.
