Actually I've heard that the frogs thing doesn't work. When it gets uncomfortably hot, they jump out. I haven't tried it myself and I don't plan to.

But people aren't always as sensible as frogs.

Note thing on TV marked "Power". Computers have the same thing I suppose that's a way of saying you can always turn stuff off if you don't like it. Trouble is, that doesn't do anything to stop it screwing up people who don't push the button, and the effect it has on life in general. What other people do of their own volition can effect us all.

Mind these days, it isn't so much the on off switch on the set that matters, it's the change channels switch in the remote.
