Television Delivers People

I know this doesn't really have anything to do with the content & message of this video (which is still very relevant almost 36 years later), and probably only tv broadcast engineering history anoraks (like myself) would care about this, but this video looks like it was made using a first-generation Vidifont character generator (the font is a giveaway), the very first foundry-quality CG developed by CBS Labs in 1971. Before the Vidifont, it was title cards/rolls placed in front of a camera.

This is completely true, however, just because you get something served on a plate doesn't mean you gotta eat it right? Ideology is present everywhere, directly as well as indirectly. Demographics are sold to advertisers. Programming carries social critique. Through every program something is being promoted. You have to make the choice what to give in to, and what not. People will always be consumers, what you consume is your choice.

yeah tapes are cool , digital sux

ah but do you actually filter the messages??? or are you subconsiously picking them up??? I wonder??

Infinitydose, I haven't found any other statement on Youtube which I agree with more than this.

oh my god you make something so obvious sound like something that nobody knows..tell me something i dont know...besides if you think television promotes a certain ideology and that it consumes people, what do you think all the rest does? like cinema? or newspapers? or books? or music? its not that hard to figure out.
