On one hand I think so, but I also think the Rev has a good point related to depression, OCD, anxiety - not just from TV, but all the media. We exist in an age of information overload where people are actually
encouraged to and
rewarded for maximizing the ability to mimick a pinball. The corporate world calls is "multitasking", which is handling/processing overload. Expert multitaskers often have no idea how to be still and many survive on Paxil, Xanax and Ambien, etc.
I think the world is winding the clock way too tight.
