    I still remember adjusting the wrabbit ears on our black and white tv to get one of 4 tv stations.

    I am perfectly happy with walking away from video entertainment once my work-arounds fail.

    The world will continue spinning when the media manipulators go broke because nobody watches their tripe any more.

    I hear these things called books are pretty entertaining.

      Of course we can get rid of video entertainement, it’s more so a question of principle and shows the impeding failure of our own economic system.

      The product becomes abstract, and we’re going to be served more ads on other abstract products which will just continue the cycle.

      It’s depressing.

        I think I’m past the principle. I’ve been fighting for my privacycfor decades. I think we are beyond any hope now. Not only is it relentless, but it is happening on every front imaginable. I think I’ve checked out. Nothing short of total collapse or ground up revolution will change anything.

        As “the kids” say, we’re cooked.
