The 'Idiot Box' as it is called has slowly and steadily started ruling over people's lives.The Visual aid was for getting across better and making things clearer to those who didn't have a percepts or vision.Low imagination led to less understanding and therefore words along with line drawings,then pictures,moving images,films with sound tracks etc.....followed.Man stayed stagnant and the book started to move.....Rock,to paper,to newspaper,till the Internet ....and now both move faster than the other....Man and Machine....from original form to" nano technology"
Who is pulling the strings?Have we become objects in other's controls?Is this question being asked at all?...is so...who is going to give the answers.Is progress properly going to wards a "better" goal?.We are apes surely...Aping each other and the original Ape too!!We are becoming a sight to be observed with great entertainment and enquiry !!So nice of us to call ourselves "idiots" sitting in front of (now a days) Flat picture-like frames calling it the 'State of the art' object in one's living room...for that matter any "room" where there is no 'space to sit a square box in !!
Have we become the squares? and the TV sets watching us staring at ? Or are they the one's watching the 'puppet show' !!??
