Technological innovation and information can be a positive influence, providing much-needed knowledge and preserving freedom by keeping people informed. With technology, there will never be another Hitler who can warp society to such an extent and successfully prevent the spread of information. Technology helped end the Soviet Union and it made the Persian Gulf War safer for veterans. Technology saves lives, etc., etc. But, along with all this good, people still use technology for the spread of filth.
People spend too much time watching television.
I agree with this to a degree. But, I contend that television is NOT to blame for the ills of society - people are. The townsmen would often be married, probably to several women, but would have relations with the priestesses while the rest of the town watched. Early in Jewish persecution were festival days that consisted of gathering the leaders of Jewish communities, stripping them naked and forcing them to race against prostitutes around the town square. As Christians became more intolerant, they tired of the games and simply gathered Jews and burned them at the stake.
