Is that copyright date correct--1977? People have known these things for THAT long, and yet nothing's been done? (Maybe I shouldn't be surprised?)
Please please PLEASE see the 1979 movie "Network", and you will be absolutely SHOCKED at the similarities in the global and corporate politics between now and then. It is an excellent movie about everything wrong with television. Invoked a paradigm shift within me.

I must admit that I only skimmed the article. But it all does make sense. People zombie out in from of the television these days.
This article is amazing... I've been slowly reading through it the last couple days. It gets very zen towards the end.

I haven't watched television (like, commercial TV) in months. And I've noticed a difference in the way my mind works. I'm more sensitive to things, more reactive, and less accepting... no, less passive.
It starts to grate on you! Like a cheese grater on your mind.

I'm going to tell my mother to have a look at that article, she's an old hippie and hates TV. I think she'll appreciate it.
Yes I think she would. Might even be a conversation-starter.
