There is nothing unhealthier than a room lit by television.
Not simply the light being emitted, but rather the quality of the information being beamed into the unlit mind.

Television is a beacon that is set to transmit only – there is no conversation going on between you and the television.
Sheep flock to the beacon’s flicker, they can’t help themselves. The beacon is transmitting the common ideal, a bitter pill, shaped and packaged by our protective shepherds to gain our compliance and conformity.
And if the media fails to cause the desired effect, they send out the crook of uniformed stooges to force the issue.
Our good shepherds seek nothing more serious from us than our very meat; but first they will fleece us.


Title thanks to John Milton; John Brunner and Fad Gadget but not necessarily in that order.
