Many teachers use and appreciate channels like the History Channel, Discovery, even Animal Planet. And some teachers do regard these channels as educational. But there is one warning for students. These channels are commercial. They have sponsors, and they are also in the entertainment business.

What that means is that the stories on channels like the History Channel, while often informative, are produced so that they are enjoyable to watch. Thus, the stories are sometimes told like a fascinating adventure, where the person's real life might not have been so exciting. As a professor who has also been on the History Channel as an "expert," I am very pleased that the network tries to make history entertaining, and more often than not, they do a fine job of teaching some important facts. But sometimes, the information is not entirely accurate, and a student watching the History Channel should also do some fact-checking of his or her own just to be on the safe side if doing a paper for school.

4 channel amplifier?

This is an amplifier that has 4 sperate channels and can be wired in various ways. Usually you would have 1 channel per speaker so you could do 4 speakers with this. However, sometimes it is possible to join the channels together and get more power out of fewer channels - you can get anything from 2-4 channels out of a 4 channel amp.


How is the amplifier watt rated for example if its 350 watt and 2 channels does it produce a 350 watt at each channel or is it divided on the 2 channels so that it would be 175 watt for each channel?

if it is 350 rms by 2 channels it is 175 rms each channel unless it can be bridged than its 350 rms by 1 channel

Is television bad for your brain?

It depends on how many hours you watch TV, what TV shows you watch and the television itself. Studies have shown too much TV watching can cause insomnia in the adult life of a child, as well as behavior changes especially in kids, depending in the shows they watch. Overall, I would recommend TV only to watch news or educational channels like Discovery Channel or The History Channel.
