We thought we could just turn off our TV and be done with it. It sounded easy enough. But we quickly found that it wasn't so easy. Video entertainment is a monster that follows us around. It waits for us in the restaurant. It lurks in the doctor's office. It bombards us as we stroll through the mall. It slithers into schools through the cracks of a crumbling education system. It even invades places of worship.
This isn't the reason that we stopped watching. No, I didn't fully realize how desperate the screen was for our attention until we stopped willingly giving it our attention. Now I notice things.
