We live in an age where there is more information and entertainment available than ever. It sounds great. But is it really that good for us? Information overload hits against our face as soon as we are connected. Messages, notifications, updates, ads. One more thing from which we need to survive.
The idea of all human knowledge at your fingertips is inspiring. You could learn anything. And we just watch cat videos. Something that fills our extra time so we don't have to think. We are enchanted by it, addited to see one more kitten tumbling, one more laugh. Over and over again.
I don't think we should worry that much about somebody controlling the media. There is no need for that, we don't care anymore. What would be the point of controlling the color of those kittens?
Huxleys vision of the world of tomorrow might have been far of on many things but the control of the masses with endless stream of entertainment was spot on.
I like cat videos.
It's ok, we can watch few of those. But there has to be a limit. Some self disciple to stop before it's too late.
We must awaken!
