13 channels of shit to choose from

That famous line from Pink Floyd's 'Nobody Home' was quite prescient. Now there are 200 channels and TV hasn't become more watchable.

How many things on that box are actually interesting?

You love the Food network? How many recipes have you used from that channel?

You can sit around and watch cartoons and home improvements and up to the minute news and this that and the other. All the while commercials familiarize you with products you might like to buy.

Where is the real value?

The News tells you what they want you to hear. I can't watch it. I watch news analysis, where issues are discussed.

Sports are sports. It is more fun to go to a game anyhow. If you like that sort of thing.

And so on.
I am going to stop complaining and get to my point.

If the TV is your window to the world, then it is the world's window to you. Looking back the other way is someone sitting at the bar or on their couch not doing much of anything. The people on the other side are having all the fun.

Why pay them for that?

"If the TV is your window to the world, then it is the world's window to you."

I like your "quote of sorts", I might have to use it now and again. I won't lie I do watch some TV, its the pointless monday night football games, there social events you know? Unfortunately I think people's reality is based around what their little black box tells them and if they could see it for themselves or through the eyes of the people on the box, most people would not be the people that they are today.

We live in a world where if it didn't happen on TV it didn't happen. What should we watch on the telescreen this evening Winston?
