TV is getting a lot of criticism today over the phone competition rigging but it got some more from a different quarter this morning
The Joseph Rowntree foundation is investigating what a social evil is in this day and age and John Humphrey's interviewed the historian Christopher Lee on the Today programme.
He lists television as being one of the major causes,being a by product of the lack of regard for relationships and social
"Television is one of the huge influences on social evil in our society today,it excommunicates people from their surroundings,it influences people who haven't had all the advantages,it turns us off a society in a communication society we are the most uncommunicative that we have been for many years.
Is he right?In terms of lack of communication he is correct,but is television to blame?I would say no but communication technology is.The advent of the internet,email and mobile phones etc has led to a generation whose main means of communication is no longer spoken but exists in cyberspace.Although we have the means to communicate with so many more people,communication has lost its basic advantage.To understand the intent behind the message by visual means(Look into their eyes)
