Television Screens are Multiplying
Have you noticed that television screens are multiplying. At least in the United States they are everywhere now. I was in a branch office of the company where I work and the office building had a large television in the lobby blaring Fox News. Then, in the office itself, the kitchen/break room had a television blaring CNN. Another branch office had a television going all the time in an open waiting room area, near workers’ cubicles.
In airports it takes quite a bit of effort to avoid them. Larger bars and restaurants often have more than a dozen televisions going at all times.
Cars now have one or two screens going, either showing DVD’s or satellite navigation.
Why is this?
It seems like much more than just propaganda, although that’s a big part of it, especially since it’s the news channels that usually are on these screens. Orwell probably should have called his novel 2004.
Could there be more to it? Some sort of trance induction or alpha wave opening or something? Any thoughts?
