“When you read a book, you generate beta waves irrespective of the book's content. But if you look up from it, and start watching TV - it doesn't matter what the content of the program is - the beta waves disappear and you start processing alpha and theta waves. These are the same waves that you generate during meditation. Reading is primarily left hemisphere and watching television is primarily right hemisphere. Now how could that not have a major effect on our culture?” IfsLooksBookMatterCultureReadingLeftMeditationEffectsTelevisionTvsMajorsProgramWaveDisappearLook UpProcessingHemisphereAlphasWatching TvWatching TelevisionBetaTheta Author:Leonard Shlain

“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
“Now, all America sits in front of television sets and those television sets exude, I am sorry to say, a considerable amount of radioactive material.
