She said it would rot our minds.
She was right.
Never had a TV till 1956. After watching TV for a year, I wondered “What did we do in the evenings BEFORE we had TV!” I could not remember! I was 9 at the time. Within another year I noticed how the TV shows were manipulating us even back then.
I quit watching the TV shows back in 1960 when I discovered library BOOKS! Today I only watch OLD movies produced before the manipulators began to film trash.
