In the first place television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events, allows one to follow the latest developments in science and politics, and offers an endless series of programmes which are both instructive and stimulating. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting-room.
Yet here there is a danger. “Television is chewing-gum for eyes.” Is it true or false? Nowadays it is difficult to imagine what we used to do before this one-eyed monster was admitted into our life.
Lots of people spend most of their lives practically glued to the screen. All their free time is regulated by the telly. They rush home after work, flop down on a sofa with a sandwich and a glass of beer in hands and stay- like that for hours, even falling asleep in front of the TV.
Whole population is addicted to television. People watch everything that is shown to them. They have no time for thinking or analyzing. Everything is done for them. All they have to do is just gulp that mess of information and nobody worries if they can digest it or not. The money for the programmes is provided by the manufacturers of cars, soap, cigarettes, who “buy time” to advertise their products.
Every few minutes the programme is interrupted to give a commercial advertising of something or other.
The result is that when you listen to the “commercials” you are told that if you use A.’s soap, you will remain young and beautiful, if you smoke B.’s cigarettes, women will find you most handsome and so on. Nobody believes a word of it - nevertheless, people do buy this particular soap, cigarettes and toothpaste in large quantities.
