    Why sit in front of a stupid TV for hours on end when we can be sitting in front of a stupid PC instead.

    I think it was when psychedelic drugs became illegal that interest rose sharply in TV’s and PC’s, but they were a poor substitute for the real stuff.

    Just like I do…. More ideas come from TV than from books I can say that as a fact.

    Zeina 123 …

    McLuhan pointed out that books were the content of movies. Movies were the content of television. Books remain the basis for televisions ideas. Sorry.

    Lately Comics are the content of Movies (not to mention cartoons). If the derivative content is downgrading does this explain the context for our societal decline.

    Hey, now! Television programming is ….um…..um… responsible for the increasing number of people reading good books.

    BTW - Do not let your children watch the news. They may get ideas.

    Far too often, multi-tasking is the ability to work on several tasks simultaneously (or rapidly switch from task to task), without ever completing any of them. XD

    some of the people i worked with had attention spans similar to that, you had to retrain them every 6 months to do a repetitive job

    Lonewolf :

    i was able to do that for a little over 40 years when i was with the government (department of defense)

    PC: Create content, potentially just this side of heaven.

    TV: Receive content, usually right out of the sewer pipe.

    That’s why I have two laptops and no TV. (On occasion, I’ll pull something out of my DVD collection and play it on one of the laptops.)

    I guess depends on what is on TV and viewers. There are shows I don’t watch and comics I don’t read. Where as books depends on how thick, takes a while for me to read. Others who are fast readers will speed through. I missed some of the old shows but the some of the old shows will not fit into today’s society of somewhat tastes. Bill Cosby’s shows those are classics. I’ve heard what Bill Cosby’s talks about and wish teenagers would listen.

    Yeah, but Doc, there are cartoons on TV. And I still watch the Flintstones, Scooby Doo and Jetsons after all these years.

    Netflix has been my constant companion this past year. I have recorded enough good shows to watch when they go into reruns next summer, but when watching a good BBC series, everything has to wait until I’ve watched the last episode. However, I’m getting carpal tunnel syndrome from reading the comments on the comics. Anyone know where I can get Zits with comments? My paper has it, so only want to read comments about it.

    Einstein came up with many thoughts too. Wonder what tv he was watching.

    I’m not sure, but Einstein’s thoughts started flourishing when he was close to 20, so Calvin still has hope….. I think.

    Cable television is a lollipop for the brain. Sure wish they would bring back the BBC series “Fawlty Towers” - it would make me laugh so hard I would get an asthma attack…

    khpage: You can get “Fawlty Towers” on DVD. I get Acorn magazine or you can get it at acornonline.com. They have many of the BBC DVD ‘s and other interesting items from England.

    I switch to the computer when the television commercials come on. The commercials make my mind melt.
