(Kutxa) "dumb" is not television.
It's data from a year ago. In the Spanish State, the average consumption of television per inhabitant stands at just over 4 hours a day, a consumption that has increased significantly with the crisis. Smart strategy to get out of unemployment fast!
If there are good television programmes, both on local and external channels, and I will not deny that I can perform positive functions (for example, learning languages or other subjects, etc.). ). But it is clear that on the market it also offers a lot of money. In general, we should be aware of the functioning of current TV and its influence on us, to know how to digest what we consume.
The French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu has a little interesting book: Sur la télévision, suivi de L’emprise du journalisme (Sobre la televisión, castellano). It talks about invisible censorship, vanity, the influence it has on the written press, the urgency it imposes and fast thinking, the dictatorship of audience indexes, etc.
If reading does not make you feel the desire to be careful with television, I will tell you that it is for men, or for women that you want to have a large family with men, another firm reason. According to a study by the Harvard School of Public Health (Europe Press 05-02-2013), those who spend many hours on television have 44% less sperm than those who exercise for 15 hours a week. The reason is not exactly known, but among the hypotheses is increased scrotal temperature or increased stress due to sedentary life. So, if you have professionals as translators and you also see a lot of TV, a lot of risk. I myself, I can't avoid the first one and I see very few TVs just in case, and no, the truth is that caring for the quality of the human seed is one of my priorities.
Above the jokes, we should seriously reflect on our absurd behavior that allows a savage invasion of TV: going to any bar with friends and, above your conversation and forcibly stealing the gaze of some, you will almost always have a television (and if the bar is long, two); going out of three or four restaurants because it was essential to watch TV on the menu; at least twice having to gather TV in a living room and visit. How have we become so stupid?
