According to an article in Times Of India, ‘This term has been used to refer to a TV set in a derogatory way since the late 1950s. The name stuck for two reasons. Tv has been a non-interactive device, and the term idiot box highlights the fact that it is non-responsive. According to some studies, a child addicted to TV might suffer from slow metabolism, obesity, myopia and might develop into a moron or an idiot”.
