On World Television Day, Storied asks 'Can TV Change the Way We Speak?'

Happy World Television Day! As I promised yesterday, "I have a Storied video to share." Watch as Otherwords asks Can TV Change the Way We Speak?

Some parents are concerned (or thrilled?) that their kids might be developing an Australian accent from watching Bluey... but is that really possible? How much of our language acquisition comes from TV anyway?

Like I did for PBS Eons explains 'How Animals Got Butts' for World Toilet Day, I left a comment on the video.

This was the perfect video to upload on World Television Day, as it shows the significance of television to society. Since no one else has mentioned it, a belated happy World Television Day to Erica/Dr. B., all of the Storied crew, and viewers!

I knew then that I would be sharing this video today.

By the way, I recommend reading the comments, which are full of Australians saying it was time Australia struck back at the U.S. for all the Americanisms introduced through television. TV can change the way you speak!

That's a wrap for today's holiday about the effect of technology on society. Stay tuned for an evergreen educational entry tomorrow.
