Television hasn39。t been with us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. Before we admit the oneeyed monster into our homes, we never found it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, we used to go outside for our amusements to theaters, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talk occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time is regulated by the gogglebox. We rush home or gulp down（吞咽）our meals to be in time for this or that program. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will doanything providing it doesn39。t interfere with the program. The monster demands and obtains absolute silence and attention. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during a program, he is quickly silenced. The whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly (television). Food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost. The telly is universal pacifier（撫慰者）．It is now standard practice for mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the livingroom and turning on the doesn’t matter that the children will watch rubbishy mercials or violence－so long as they are quiet.There is little limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world. Television consumes vast quantities of creative work. That is why most of programs are bad: it is impossible to keep pace with the demand and maintain high standards as well. When millions watch the same programs, the whole world bees a village, and society is reduced to the conditions which obtain in preliterate（無文字的）munities.
