| | Revolution In Everyday Life - Reconsidering Television (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02) |
 | | For our relationship with this media is one of spectator to spectacle, and life itself is less fulfilling for those who watch than it is for those who act. |
 | | When television companies, movie producers, and their ilk convince us that entertaining, exciting life is not something that exists all around us every day but instead can only be found in the lives of celebrities, or in movies, they get to sell life itself back to us. |
