Winn's classic study has been extensively updated to address the new media landscape, including new sections on- computers, video games, the VCR, the V-Chip and other control devices, TV programming for babies, television and physical health, and gaining control of your TV.Children Without Childhood, Unplugging the Plug-In Drug, and Red-Tails in Love are among Marie Winn's thirteen works. She currently contributes a nature piece to the Wall Street Journal. She has two grown children and four grandkids who have never seen a television set.
