I have basically replaced TV with the internet. One technology requires that I sit in front of it and react. That same technology pushes what others want me to react to at me.
The other technology demands interaction, thus thought, and sometimes a little learning is required. I also get to pull from the net what is interesting to me.
Why in the world would someone choose TV over the net?
Well, most people have been trained to be sheep. They like being sheep, and I don't expect a revolution anytime soon.
In the meantime those of us using and expanding our minds get in on the ground floor of a technology that will transform human society.
Consider yourself privleged.
