It would be a kind of a hangover effect because it's a very addictive medium and you take it away and people develop all the symptoms of a hangover. 2 or 3 years ago they actually paid people not to watch TV for a few months. And they discovered they had all the withdrawal symptoms of drug addicts. And very uncomfortable. All the trauma of withdrawal symptoms.
TV is a very very involving medium and it is a form of inner trip.
And so people do miss it. Snyder The thought just occurred to me that possibly if you turned off television there would be a lot of who said, who would say at the end of the 30 day period, we will not permit you to turn it back on. McLuhan A great many of the teenagers have stopped watching television. Saturation is a possibility. I doubt it.
