Television Adopted

Famous quotes containing the words television and/or adopted:

“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
—Marie Winn (20th century)

“By such innovations are languages enriched, when the words are adopted by the multitude, and naturalized by custom.”
