Famous quotes containing the words american and/or television:

    “We are now in the Me Decade—seeing the upward roll of ... the third great religious wave in American history.”
    —Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)

    “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)
