Humanities: Popular Culture
At beginning of the chapter, the author explains how companies unconsciously attract "eyeballs". He states an example of how companies abuse of air time; "…in evening hours, is wildly disproportionate, amounting to more than provision for all the other needs combined. Much of it is a great deal better than some critics are ready to admit, but the sheer amount of it precludes enjoyment of other interests for which millions are hungry and to which millions are entitled." I truly think he is right about the fact that companies try to get more time on evenings bombarding us with commercials that we don’t even ask for…to get millions of viewers to keep their television active The author talks also about the "children’s television" impacts.
