A great Alan Watt talk on how television watching came to replace communication and community among people.
To add to Alan's points, one might add that, even in private homes, TV became the center of family life, and TV chatter came to replace family conversations and communication in daily life.

Alan Watt is a long-term researcher into the causative forces behind major changes in historical development. His background is that of a Renaissance man, with a background in three professions, plus having various books published, mainly under pseudonyms: on religions, philosophy, poetry. For much of his life, he was heavily involved in the music industry as a singer, songwriter and performer, and he was involved in folk music, blues, pop, rock, and even classical. Also known for his session guitar work, he has played with some of the most well-known artists and groups.
Born in Scotland, he watched the subtleties of politics and media as these were used to guide the population of the U.K. covertly into a European amalgamation. He has been warning the North American peoples for some years now that the same process of amalgamation is being carried out in this area of the world: to integrate Canada, the USA and Mexico into a single trading bloc, and then into a political union.
With historical documentation, he shows how cultures are created, altered and engineered by those in control, always to lead the people like sheep into the next pasture.
His books are masterly works, designed to stimulate the mind so as to deprogram the reader from social indoctrination, and allow him or her to wake up: to start thinking for him or herself, and to start critically analyzing and studying the reality of the world (and existence) so as to personally discover them for what they truly are, while developing self-determination and individuality.
