Of Television-Induced Stupor and the Social Revolution
Saturday, August 9th, 2008I found a nifty talk by Clay Shirky about how TV is bad and should die a painful death. Okay, not really, he’s just saying we’ll move on to media that encourages interaction, like Wikipedia.
Check it out over at ClusterFlock.
I especially like where he breaks down the quantity of wasted man-hours of thought spent watching TV.
I wonder how we could more efficiently utilize this vast reserve of distributed brain power. I’m sure Google will come up with something for it.
