^ i'd believe it.
the problem with all these technologies in our society. is that they have been accepted on a mass scale. with too little debate. without any type of consciouss intelligent contract being entered into by anyone. other then them simply purchasing a television out of capitalist desire. vast majority of people never analyze the television, or what it stands for. vast majority of people find it ok to utilize countless hours of their life sitting in passivity watching a box flicker at 60hz with various moving images that ultimately contribute nothing to that persons life other then a temporary escape from reality.
the television serves as a pre-cursor the school system which also demands passivity. and the work system which also demands passive behaviour.
amongst most people in most places even questioning the very nature of the television will bring social ridicule.
