HDTV Effect

Jeff Robbins argues that we need to better understand the impact of HDTV: "For all the attention paid to the new televisions by both technology’s cheerleaders and skeptics, almost no one has asked the most important question: What psychological, emotional, social, and even neurological effects will these big-screen high-definition televisions have — especially on the development of children and adolescents?" (Theory note: this is a good example of media effects thinking on TV.)
