Television has conditioned us to tolerate visually entertaining material measured out in spoonfuls of time, to the detriment of rational public discourse and reasoned public affairs. In this eloquent, persuasive book, Neil Postman alerts us to the real and present dangers of this state of affairs, and offers compelling suggestions as to how to withstand the media onslaught. Before we hand over politics, education, religion, and journalism to the show business demands of the television age, we must recognize the ways in which the media shape our lives and the ways we can, in turn, shape them to serve out highest goals.

“It is not obstinacy or ignorance but a sense of irrelevance that leads to the diminution of history.” Real masterpiece discuss about the future instead of the past.

作者从认知学上说明了为什么电视不可能传达深刻思想。我自己半年前决定尽量不看电影电视剧也是模糊的悟到了这个道理。不过对于文化的分析未免有些本末倒置，电视并没有消灭书，只要不看电视就行了呗。
