It's called Multi-tasking. One study found no relationship between grades and their use of television and computers according to Kaiser Family Foundation. Also The Pew internet Project (pewinternet.org) studies the social impact of the internet. Refer to links for information

Television is a passive experience that requires little in the way of intellectual involvement. Therefore it is an easier activity than doing homework or otherwise studying. Kids should always complete their homework and required studies before going off to watch TV.

Of course it does! TV is one of the most distracting things in your house - it keeps you from concentrating on what you're doing and you end up not learning as much and making a lower grade than if you turned it off.

Here are some other things that will distract you from your work:

  • cellphones - even the little alert noise when you get a text is distracting
  • the internet - just having it on in the background tempts you to check your Facebook
  • people talking
  • music that is loud, has heavy beats or vocals (soft, instrumental music is OK for studying)

It depends on how you use television. Some of the educational programs can really help you to understand things. On the other hand, if you're watching TV while you're supposed to be studying, it's just going to distract you and make you take longer to finish. You also won't remember as much, because half of your brain is concentrating on what's on the TV.
