I grew up largely without TV during my formative years, and would much rather do without these days. I’m not sure how much effect it has had on my neural pathways but I know that it has saved me a lot of time, time that I have spent engaged in other more useful activities. I shudder to think that the Internet could devolve into to something that resembles TV. Even more so if it is delivered with “relevant advertising” and “interactive programming”, both logical impossibilities in my mind.
