"We live in a Sesame Street world"

We live in a world were we are bombarded by information from so many sources, and at such a quick rate that we do not internalize the information that we receive.  We are always looking to move on and to hear and learn more.  Our children might "know" a lot about Tehillim, but our grandmothers knew how to cry over a Sefer Tehillim.

We have to learn to slow down, and internalize what we are learning.

It is interesting that 27 years ago I decided to get rid of our television because of Sesame Street.  I watched my child watching it and decided that I don't want some stranger deciding how and what to teach my child.
