Today, a grandmother often fears the worst, whenever she sees the hands of a grandchild touch the components on one of the flat panel TV stands in that child’ home. Often, such a stand contains one of more glass panels. Even if a grandmother can keep a grandchild from breaking that glass panel, she still needs to supervise her grandchild’ exploration of that LCD TV stand.
After all, the typical stand contains some sort of cabinet. That TV cabinet has been designed to keep dust off of the players and consoles inside of it. The owner of that cabinet does not want little fingers playing with the contents behind the glass doors of that cabinet.
Perhaps that explains why so many grandmothers encourage their toddlers to sit and watch whatever is playing on the family’ flat screen TV. They pay less attention to the picture that is beaming from the flat panel on top of the TV stand than they do to what might happen during a toddler’ exploration of that same stand.
Yet the sort of program that airs on any TV set can influence the development of a child. It can play a part in determining what role that child might have in the world of the flat panel TV and the new type of television stands. It might push a child closer to the designing of TV stands and away from the need to count on commission from the selling of one or more corner TV stands.
The aforementioned fact should never leave the mind of any grandmother. It should remain in the back of her mind; even as she watches her grandchild place his or her fingers on the various parts of a TV stand in that child’ home. Whether that television stand is wood or metal, whether it is a corner TV stand or one that fits against the wall, the program that beams from the TV screen on top of that stand is just as important as anything that might be on that stand.
At least in the 21st Century, a grandmother can look forward to the time when widespread use of wireless technology will eliminate all the wires and gadgets now associated with most TV sets. This writer can remember the time that her own mother complained about all the wires around the shelves that held one of two TVs in her home. This writer listened to that complaint during a time well before the introduction of flat panel TV stands.
