    i'm sorry i don't know.

  • you could choose what you wanna read or watch from the internet, both TV and internet are an addiction materials, but internet is a two sided coin, it could be either good or bad, but i conseder TV as one sided coin, because we don't choose what we wanna watch, the media does, but the internet on people's hands which is a good thing. thank you.

  • regarding Hamza's definition of addiction "something you do in a daily base", my advice to u is to not look at the words, focus on the content on the subject. thank you.

  • Get rid of the television.

  • I turned my tv off years ago,thanks God! Television insults my intelligence.And what parades as "news" are either full out LIES,or DISINFORMATION,or simply entertainment masquerading as "News". All other show's on TV are called "Programs" for a REASON,it programs your mind to they're way of thinking and behaving.Of how you "should" live your life&TV is the most dangerous propaganda tool and mind control known to man.

  • Television also divides the family...both my brother and my father pay more attention to the Television than me as a human being. I've talked to them, and had conversations with them, but their eyes are still glued to the TV.

    They watch TV 5 to 6 hours a day, and I've never seen them pick a book up and read...I am saddened because I feel that my family is falling apart, and I've tried so hard to reach out to them :(

    We need to educate our children about this before it's too late!

  • I walk into peoples' homes, look around and I think "Where are the books?!.." Almost 2,400 yrs ago, the Greeks were half naked and lucky to just have good paper!! And they were working toward solving theoretical problems of physics, music, arguments in political philosophy...Zeno was working on ground work postulate theory for quantum math.. No technology whatsoever aside from fiber/cloth tech for robes, the pulp works for paper (good stuff was imported!)..and their refined stone architecture.

  • Television is the ultimate mind-managing medium.. Although up until the late 1970's I considered TV benign in terms of it being used as a potential tool or instrument for conveying agenda and organizing perceptions.. And because it literally supplies the visual images, the brain's sense or ability to create it's own version of those images is not utilized or put to work, hense a "path of least resistance" condition occurs..resulting in a preferance for TV (visual) for info.rather than reading..

  • In the book:_Four Arguments For The Elimination Of Television_, the most important fact or point is that, for as much as time and attention TV takes up of our daily lives, yet the research about it's effects are not proportional, miniscule..Another point, although maybe from a different author, is how the main room of the house has similarity to an opium den...-the substance, TV as focus of the room, the room dimmed or dark, distracting outside world shut out, people in hypnotic like trance.....

  • news is garbage. some tv is good but people who watch it hours on end baffle me.

  • Asalamualaykum, What is the the full lecture called?
