Everything in the world today is about choice. You can read what you want to, watch what you want to, eat what you want to, and this surfeit of choice leads to boredom and lack of determination. If you didn't like reading this, you could have just turned the page. Switched me off. Changed the channel.
Life imitates art, and television has become life.
The lives of television characters are so much more interesting than your own. And if they're not, press channel-up. Maybe this constant choice, this constant influx of images and ideas in the brain, this overload of information, leads to innovation and exploration of new ideas. If you can concentrate long enough to get anything done. But I think this lack of concentration, this constant choice, this overload of information, this changing the channel, this inability to deal, this need for stimulation is the beginning of the end of the world.
