TV
by Justin C. Smith
Television brings people places they'd probably never expect to be, and with convenience. The potential of, and universe inside, the television, like life itself, isn't mapped out. However, television can bring a person so much that would otherwise be inaccessible.
Furthermore, television as technology, has the ability to show us anything it wants and to manipulate our imaginations. Not only can it elaborate on and expand our knowledge of what we've already seen, it can put us somewhere totally new, somewhere fictional. And with these abilities, the depths of television are endless, as are our intellectual cravings for them.
In a world of staggering cultures, television is one of the more accepted showcases of diversity. Violence and improper language, which is a concern for many people, particularly parents, is of course part of the universe inside TV. But to say the least, this is also part of the real world, the one we can't casually leave. On the other hand, Television comes with the option of being shut off, giving the viewer that much more power. This should inevitably be used for our advantage. Our Misconceptions of TV are just that, and nothing more. There's a universe all around us. There's a potentially excellent grasp of it right in front of us.
Television is an easy connection to worlds of knowledge, enjoyment, exploration, etc. It is a considerably powerful tool worth getting a grip on. Knowledge is power. And television was born superhuman.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I'm incredibly passionate about creation, and the sharing of feeling, thoughts and human soul in general. I don't really know how or where to try and start making a career out of writing, music and so forth. I do know I will need to find the place soon because I don't know how much longer I can go without having that outlet. There's a difference between having an outlet, and having it comfortably as a career, an axis for my unstable life and circumstances. In other words, I need a career in the creative field. Desperately.
