Television makes People Stupid

This has been known ever since it originated in the Fifties. And is why it became so popular.

The Television viewer is subject to information overload - he cannot possibly process all the information being presented to him (or her). And as a result, his ability to process any additional information is impaired.

But this is not seen as a problem by the viewers, as it induces a trance state that is pleasurable. It is not seen a a problem by the advertisers, because it makes it easier for them to sell their products.

It creates a whole culture of people who act in a strange new way. Who are convinced that what they are seeing on their screens is reality.

In America, this made Trump president! He was a TV actor, and frequently presents himself on Television - as a person bigger than life, who will solve all their problems. When in fact, he is incompetent and corrupt.

Americans, for the most part, cannot tell the difference. Their ability to think, has been so badly damaged!

There are many reasons for this, but the most obvious, is their exposure to Television, many hours a day. That has formed an addiction.

People all over the world, who barely have enough to eat - have to have their Televisions, and have to watch them!

What they often see, has been manipulated by their Government to present its point of view. But they have no way of knowing this.
