The glut of information was dulling awareness, not aiding it.

It is no accident that television has been dominated by a handful of corporate powers. Neither is it accidental that television has been used to re-create human beings into a new form that matches the artificial, commercial environment. A conspiracy of technological and economic factors made this inevitable and continue to.

Technological evolution is leading to something new: a worldwide, interlocked, monolithic, technical-political web of unprecedented negative proportions.

The program is only the excuse to get you to watch the advertising. Without the ads there would be no programs. Advertising is the true content of television and if it does not remain so, then advertisers will cease to support the medium, and television will cease to exist as the popular entertainment it presently is.

Scientists who study brain-wave activity found that the longer one watches television, the more likely the brain will slip into alpha level: a slow, steady brain-wave pattern in which the mind is in its most receptive mode. It is noncoggnitive mode i.e., information can be placed into the mind directly, without viewer participation.
