One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life.

Teach, Learn, Share

We gave up TV 3 years ago and are merrily evolving without it.
"The means of communication, the irresistible output of the entertainment and information industry carry with them prescribed attitudes and habits, certain intellectual and emotional reactions which bind the consumers to the producers and, through the latter to the whole social system. The products indoctrinate and manipulate; they promote a false consciousness which is immune against its falsehood...Thus emerges a pattern of one-dimensional thought and behavior."
Herbert Marcuse
