It is an interest thought to consider how our brains are evolving around these unnatural objects and what happens when we are unplugged.
Well, speaking as one of the new generation n all that, I honestly think teachers and parents are pretty much the only chance for good rolemodels now.............
Most people growing up don't have contact with other adults who do genuinely good stuff in their day-to-day life, and people like police, emergency services, doctors, medical scientists/neurosurgeons, etc etc get barely any media coverage as individual people because, well, good people doing good things every day is not exciting and a novelty enough, so.... people with money and power are what get the attention, however they 'earned' (especially in the case of most celebrities) it.
A lot of fictional characters are better rolemodels than ones on television lol, I try to avoid watching it except for the occasional thing on
iPlayer - and of course, no ads there, it's kind of surreal when friends make jokes/references based on advertisements, makes me feel kinda like I'm living in the set of 1984 but with companies running the world instead of governments. (IMG:
