"Television hangs on the questionable theory that whatever happens anywhere should be sensed everywhere. If everyone is going to be able to see everything, in the long run all sights may lose whatever rarity value they once possessed, and it may well turn out that people, being able to see and hear practically everything, will be specially interested in almost nothing."

That last bit may not be necessarily true in these riverting times, but I do think the man has a point. Can you imagine all of the children who have their own tvs right now? How many parents are monitoring what they watch in their bedrooms while the parents watch whatever on their own? Talk about disconnect.

Thanks, Jerry, glad to hear your "speaker" is back.
