When you watch television, or television on your computer screen (that makes no difference) you get hypnotized by the tube into a passive state of consumption. Watch people when they watch TV. Watch their slack jawed faces when the commercials stay on and their attention stays glued to the advertisements pitching Alzheimer drugs. Critical though suspended, minds off in space.

In short, read a book.

what you said is true about books, and people made the exact same arguments when the printing press hit the scene

- "you get hypnotized by the tube into a passive state of consumption"

- "Watch their slack jawed faces....and their attention stays glued"

both statements apply equally to books. read here if you dont believe me.
