#5 The Main Distraction

TV is the biggest distraction of our time. What other product that is found in almost every household that can make you sit on a couch with a blank stare for hours upon hours with no human contact?  I don't think a radio would do the trick. These attention boxes have done their jobs very well and have made a lot of people a lot of money. They have also wasted millions of hours of time that, before the addiction of the TV came to place, would have been spent outside playing or spending time with family. I read an article last year that described TV as an addictive drug. Some points of his were well supported but the difference between an addictive drug and television for me is the lack of true entertainment it gives you! When you think about it, you've spent so many hours ghostly staring at a TV show or movie that made you feel no certain way on the inside. People who are addicted to TV must not have very interesting lives because there are thousands of things more entertaining than watching a random show on CBS.
