Getting angry at the TV or mobile phone is kind of like swearing at the radio because you don't like the song.

These things can only be as good or bad as the content on them.

You think I'm a pessimist, but I'm being more of a realist.
These 'gadgets' have just as much potential to liberate as enslave.

It'd make more sense to say 'I hate the moon, and I'm going to blow it up'.
Because the chances of someone blowing the moon up are probably more possible and realistic than entertaining the idea that TV and mobile phones will ever disappear from human existence.

I think complaining about the existence of tv or mobile phones is a dead end street that serves no purpose.

But if you wish to talk about your own ideas about promoting human values, I'm interested enough to hear what you have to say.

What's the point in worrying about things you can't change?
Focus on the things you can.

"If society does not collectively strive to demonstrate to our youth the harmful impact of cinema on their lives, true positive growth cannot occur and we will be living perpetually in an atmosphere of deception"
- They're not going to listen to you, they're going to think you're off your rocker, and they will resent you if you try to take it away from them. They just want to be like all the other kids, and they want cool parents they can relate to, not weird ones that deny them things all the other kids have.

Tell me, is the TV evil when it's turned off?
It's just a device that displays content.

Both of you are using a device right now (computer) that is capable of moving pictures (even just the cursor is a moving picture) and the internet is a network the same as a mobile phone.

You might as well say you hate computers as well, and then put your money where your mouths are and stop using them, if you're true to that which you believe and wish to promote.

Nobody is angry, Armchair Critic:
As far as I am concerned you may take heroin too, even give it to your children and that is none of my business.

Once you place heroin in my water supply, or give it to my kids at kindergarten lunch break, that is a different matter - though I do not expect you to understand.

Nobody is against gadgets. We are worried about how they are used or misused. Who will control and monitor the contents.The political governments are least interested to monitor the contents as they are more obsessed with the winning in elections. These law makers are found to break first the law they have enacted in the legislative bodies. Appeasement politics is needed to win in politics. They have to please the businessmen, traders who sell their wares and make profit. They do not pay attention to such things. Who else will oversee? So society must intervene and report about what is happening in the media. Unless this is done the society and the government will collapse. Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangla Desh are examples for this kind of developments.
I just cannot understand how people support malpractices done so brazenly in the media
