As a kid I remember reading an article in the Readers' Digest that talked about a guy who lost his friend to television. He talked about how his friend never came out to play anymore and their friendship deteriorated.
One of my reasons in posting this article was to make readers think about the fact the TV removes them from the world around them. TV markets itself as just the opposite...the medium that connects you to society.
We are called to be in relationship with real people, not people we see on a screen.
Brandon,
I remember reading a short story about a child (I thought it was a girl though) who recounted how her life changed the day she witnessed her neighbor family take their new T.V. into their house. I have tried to google it but have come up empty. Your reader digest remark reminded me of that. Do you know anything about it?
