chapter 39

I disagree with Postman's essay in saying that TV is dangerous. Just because we watch TV does not have to mean that we've lost our sense of the world around us and how amazing it is. TV is not entertaining us to death because people do still realize the relief we can get from simply shutting off the TV and talking with our family or friends. Especially on things like holidays, it's nice to enjoy each others' company. However, in addition to this we can see things like football games and parades we otherwise wouldn't be able to see because we can't attend it in person.
