Nonsense
“The
television is ‘real.’ It is immediate, it has dimension. It tells you what to
think and blasts it in. It must be right. It seems so right. It rushes you on
so quickly to its own conclusions your mind hasn’t time to protest, ‘What
nonsense!’”
—Ray Bradbury (1920-2012), author, Fahrenheit 451
