Transformation: Kill Your Television

Get Rid Of The TVs. All of them. Heck, you'll not only survive you will absolutely thrive. That bland wallpaper that ooozes into our ears will disappear and great ideas will start to evolve. Our children will pick up books again and brows will become knotted with imagination. Conversation will pick up from where it was left in courting days. Read Amusing Ourselves To Death by Neil Postman. Log hours which go on that box. Don't ask how you will stay informed?, ask what will stop you becoming even better informed? In your year of transformation, don't mess about. Get rid of the TVs. All of them.
