Your families satellite media health
I love to be able to have many choices for the
media content I and my family watch. But there is
such a thing as "one head, one life and only two
eyes" which makes 500+ channels of TV a little
too much overwhelm even for my eclectic interest.
So what is best to do?
Have you ever sat with a very retro blank white
piece of paper and in my case an even more retro
#2 pencil (yes they still exist) and like in
weight watchers list all the TV programs and time
spent watching them you really do? I don't
recommend it can get VERY ugly! But being curious
by nature and a little masochistic I did. What I
found surprised me. I actually only consume (as I
work an 8 to 5 job for a living) 22-26 hours of
TV a week! I WAS VERY PROUD OF MYSELF!
And I have 500+ TV channels available to me
through my satellite home theatre TV. Discipline
rules in my family. Now most of this time is
spent watching movies about 3-4 a week and
'escaping from the world' with the rest filled
with science type i.e. Discovery or History
channel type stuff. I like my family to invite
through our satellite home theatre system to open
and sharpen their minds! This very cool
technology can be a most useful tool if used well
. I do not allow CNN, NBC, CBS, FOX or any type of
news as this is EVERYWHERE now, not in the least
educational and I view as detrimental as we have
zero control over what is happening and prefer
NOT to live our lives in a perpetual state of
reacting to that which we cannot control (isn't
this a prescription for unhappiness as described
by Huxley in Brave New World? It seems to me that
our tools i.e. in this case satellite home
theatre systems are best used with a great deal
of discretion and discrimination. And if not just
add to the larger cultural madness of the
citizenry. Only a fool or madman would allow some
of them world's horror story into their cave
(LIVING ROOM) for their children to endure!
So what do you do to enrich your life with your
satellite home theatre system? What have you cut
out and what do you allow. You still have the
choice you know. Though there are certain forces
which would just as soon cyber-jack your brain
and put you on a 24 hour CNN or war or famine
(panic and stress for panic and stress sake) take
over feed. Why? Because a free and clear and
"LOVING" (one who can think is a danger to the
"system!" The "system" in this case is the 19 year
old kid who has been saturated with the garbage
"YOU ARE PATRIOTC IF YOUGO TO THE NEXT WAR." Any
war can be filled in here. I know from where I
speak because one of my day jobs is as a school
bus driver and these kids are half walking
zombies who have never had a n original let alone
political thought in their life and half of them
without any study skills at all will suddenly
find themselves in their senior year sick of
school with zero interest (or ability) to go to
school and end up in Iraq, well…. soon to be Iran
. Our kids (except mine) ARE HYPNOTIZED ZOMBIES!
So please use your satellite home theatre system
TV to bring the great and good and beautiful
world too your family. Life has enough scars
without bringing them into your home. Use some
common (in these days not so common) sense to
improve your life and not take away from it. I
promise you and your family will remember maybe
with a laugh about all the wonderful people and
places your satellite home theatre system TV
brought to you. All the best…… Scott Douglas
