Iggy was wrong.

TV isn’t an eye. It’s another portion of the anatomy.

Two years ago, I stopped watching television. I eliminated it from my daily activities because I found it crippled my sensory perceptions of reality and illusion. It wasted my time, the only time I’ve got.

Back then I had a hunch that more and more people were watching less land less TV. I explained my hunch to a famous TV personality I was then working with on a project. He tilted his head, looked at line over the glasses he never wears on TV, and said, “Richard, for such-a smart boy, you sure can say some stupid things. People will never stop watching television.”

I really think less people are watching TV than ever before. I’m backed up in this* opinion by some scattered newspaper reports td that effect, but I realize that until the last TV set is unplugged no one in the media will actually admit it’s so. There’s one very good reason for this—TV’s income is based on advertising* and its advertising rates are based on how many people it reaches.
