“The relative ease of most driving lures us into thinking we can get away with doing other things. Indeed, those other things, like listening to the radio, can help when driving itself is threatening to cause fatigue. But we buy into the myth of multitasking with little actual knowledge of how much we can really add in or, as with the television news, how much we are missing. As the inner life of the driver begins to come into focus, it is becoming clear not only that distraction is the single biggest problem on the road but that we have little concept of just how distracted we are.” ThinkingLittlesHelpingProblemCausesClearFocusMissingTelevisionListeningBecomingNewsConceptsAddRadioMythDrivingEaseGet AwayDriversDistractionRelativeThreateningFatigueDistractedInner LifeLureMultitaskingMulti TaskingTelevision News Author:Tom Vanderbilt
“I would say my being disheartened has more to do with American culture than anything else. We are becoming a very shallow culture. My goodness, the celebrity ethos has taken over completely. Turn on the television and you see that over and over. There's very little substance. And so, everything gets shorter. Everything is entertainment oriented. Our churches reflect that.

That's not true in other countries so much.” LittlesCountryTurnsCultureChurchTakenFiveMinutesTelevisionBecomingGoodnessEntertainmentVideoThese DaysSubstanceThirtyOther CountriesShallowSermonsFive MinutesAmerican CultureTurn-onEthosClipDisheartenedVideo Clips Author:Philip Yancey

“I love seeing my characters big up there and I would have liked to have reached a different public in movies from my television public. There's still a part of me that wishes that my character range could be seen on the big screen.

“The way that people are watching TV is changing. The landscape of television is changing. Movies are becoming much more insular. They're like a walled garden, where you know what you're going to see and you expect it. But in the world of TV, because it's episodic, you can explore any area because you have time to do that. You can take risks on the kinds of storytelling that you're doing.” PeopleKnowsWorldWayKindRiskTelevisionTvsBecomingAreasGardenStorytellingLandscapeWatching Tv Author:Seth Gabel
