Since the late 1950s, this phrase has been used to derogatorily refer to a television set. For two reasons, the name remained. TV has traditionally been a non-interactive gadget, and the nickname "idiot box" refers to this. It is also because the picture on a traditional television set was called an "electronic picture". When tested by consumer magazine Consumer Reports, most people think the electronic picture is what makes a television set different from other forms of entertainment. The term "idiot box" first appeared in print in 1958 in an article by John Kenneth Galbraith titled "The New Industrial State". In it, he criticized the increasing dominance of television in our lives. He called it an "idiot box" because it was non-interactive and required no judgment or skill to use. He also said it was bad for us because it was consuming our time rather than allowing us to engage in more productive activities. The phrase has since become associated with television in general, but originally only referred to that model's ability to display an electronic image. Although television sets have improved considerably since they were first introduced, they are still not as intelligent or as interactive as many other devices available today. For example, smartphones can now access the Internet, take pictures, record videos, send messages, make calls, and perform other functions usually reserved for computers.
