Elimination of Television…
A few years ago Michal and I decided that we don’t want to have TV anymore - we disconnected from cable, and ever since we don’t get any TV. We do watch DVD movies and TV series still.
I had just finished reading a fascination book - ‘Four arguments for the elimination of TV’, by Jerry Mander. He claims that TV is so inherently bad, that we can only eliminate it - we cannot hope to reform it. It’s hard to summarize this book - the arguments are interesting and convincing - but it cannot be summarized into a sentence or two - which is exactly what TV tends to do to issues - and one of the things Jerry doesn’t like about it.
Anyway it’s a good read - if only for the health relating argument which is fascination. I never considered ‘light’ to be so interesting!
