TV as the death of social fabric
Mark Curtis has a great piece on some research and theory about the advent of TV being the cause of the breakdown of social behaviours of the past – socialising with neighbours, being nice people, caring, doing stuff – you know, that kind of thing our parents used to do.
We’ve often moaned about how almost nobody cares about their neighbours any more, how we all shut ourselves away in the boxes we call home. There’s a compelling case for TV being the major factor here.
Now we just need someone to build social housing with one huge central TV and we can all be entranced together!
