What is the role of the TV in our lives?

Early contemplation oscillated between a gift from the gods, and a Trojan horse; entering our houses under the pretext of harmless entertainment as a garb over the undermining of the fabric of our societies.

The fight for supremacy is now over. We have been permanently changed. Its light is no longer an intrusion, but, like the air we breathe, something that is absorbed by us. The next step is a post-television era.

What really is this device? What is its nature? What does it tell us about ourselves?

Though irrespective, even with the Orwellian Newspeak similarity, or dissimilarity, we are now from a generation which has hardly known life without it. Looking back at all the years as an audience to this contraption, I merely wish to express my opinion on the collective information emanating from the TV, and document the spaces that remind me of it.
