Social Sciences (Television really does make you less lonely, say scientists)
The organization that they used the order of the information is chronological. The tone of the article is kind or sad but not really because it talks about both sides and not just from his/her point of view. The article was about how people who watch television a lot makes them feel really lonely and that they relate the TV shows to their personal lives. People seem to not have a lot of social communication with other people face to face. Also that people who watch a lot of TV shows seem to make up imaginary characters. The point the aritcle is trying to get across is that people of going to ruin their lives if they keep doing this. They shouldn't be so much living in the TV shows they need to really have a life and communication with other people, have a social life with the world and not stay in a room staring at a tv thinking its you inside of that "box". "The down side of this, of course, is that focusing on tv shows as
"family" decreases the time and opportunity to develop a social network
of one's own." This really means a lot to me people need to have a social life. To others it should mean a lot to, people should open their eyes and look at what their doing to their lifes and not be stuck to their TV a lot. It should mean a lot to every one the whole world. Its importanat to have communication with others have friendships and a lot of other stuff with different people.

I don't think there's anything chronological to this article--no beginning, middle, or final event. I don't think "kind" or "sad" captures the scientific nature of the article either. I think you are partly right in your assessment of what the article is saying, but I don't think the potential for life ruining was the MAIN point. Your inferences, however, are very useful, though I think they do not cover both sides of what we can take away from this article.
