Television programming damages our society. Television programming, although marvelous in many ways, damages our society. Thinking of our body, what we don't use, we lose. And television is the great thief. It robs us of our will and of our mental powers.
Television gradually anesthetizes a man's and woman's mind because TV requires no mental exertion.
It dulls one's imagination and corrodes one's zest for reading, writing, and study. TV makes zombies out of the best of us. Plus, television robs our children of their innocence. Once, certain topics were taboo, only talked about when little ears were in bed. Now, all the adult themes, problems, and weaknesses of our age are thrust upon our tender children.
