Television 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.

—Marie Winn (20th century)

“Although all new ideas are born in France, they are not readily adopted there. It seems that they must first commence to prosper in a foreign country.”
