Dana Stevens opens up right away with a joke concerning if she believes TV is good for you or not. She wrote "Does watching TV make you smarter? Duh...I dunno." with her here humor she answers the question right off the back. Obviously she does not believe that TV can make you smarter.
This article
This article that she wrights has much to argue against Steven Johnson. She believes that Johnson is wrong when he says that "watching twenty-four can make you smarter." Stevens. She debates throughout the piece weather Johnson could make sense in his.
She backs up here article throughout with intense sarcasm and remedies to Johnson's article. My favorite example of this is where she explains there is seventeen minutes of interrupted commercials in between each episode of twenty-four.
While disagreeing with Johnson that television con be intellectually enriching, Stevens that she does not not like "the wet-blanket Puritanism of the anti-TV crowd". For her to say this i would insist on saying that she doesn't like this view because her job involves watching television and therefore she gets paid to watch it, making it beneficial to her.
