Hi! Folks,
It is a fact that television is an anathema to me! I developed this severe antipathy about 25 years ago, and it has been growing ever since. I now see televisions everywhere I go, and where do we need them least? In restaurants and gyms. In restaurants they interfere with normal conversation, impairing communication, and for me the enjoyment of dining out. In the gym it is worse. The whole point of working out, in my opinion, is to become more in touch with your body. How can you do that if you are not even listening to your body? Enough said! Not enough read, however. I strongly recommend an interesting little book, Amusing Ourselves to Death
which is essentially a fascinating philosophical treatise on the interrelations between technology and epistemology, and not an indictment of television as the latest cover implies. Take a look. Well worth a read! It would appear that Ray Bradbury got it right in Fahrenheit 451!
When you train, train, don’t read or watch television, please!
