This lecture made me realize how freaking powerful television is, and most people don't even watch it anymore. I truly believe that if all the televisions on Earth were to somehow disappear, we wouldn't know how to function. That's a scary probability.
There's more homes with TV's than indoor plumbing. That is so appalling and hard to comprhend to me. It twists our reality, even the news. No wonder parents are so worried about their kid getting shot or kidnapped just by walking from the bus to school. Also, I think the way politics are conveyed on Tv is not, in anyway, helpful. Honestly, they seem like children fighting over a very important toy.
