Television is reshaping our society into a massive platform for entertainment, where show business dominates cultural expressions. This shift raises questions about whether people will ultimately embrace this transformation as beneficial, leading to a culture more focused on spectacle than meaningful discourse.
Neil Postman, in his book "Amusing Ourselves to Death," echoes the concerns of Aldous Huxley from fifty years prior, warning that such a shift could lead to a loss of serious public dialogue. Instead, entertainment could diminish the depth of communication and understanding in society, transforming how information is conveyed and perceived.
