Chapter 35

Bob Stein is a man who uses a moral point of view to examine television and digital media. His two main questions are, "What are we going to use these technologies for?" and "What kind of society do we want to live in?". He is trying to look at the use of television realistically. He knows how often people spend time watching shows on the t.v. and how it is portraying noneducational plots. Stein also analyzes video games and knows how negatively they affect our society. People lose their jobs and families due to obsession and addiction of video games. Like I stated in the last chapter, people are always trying to reach that next level or obtain a new goal. If only they could use this mindset for their lives, then we would have a successful society. If technology and digital media keeps advancing, people may lose their minds. Machines will take over our lives and we may not have any free will left. Instead of using all of the brilliant minds in this world for advancements in our personal interests such as telephones, televisions, computers, and digital media, why don't we use them to solve the cure for cancer and AIDS. Let's try to save lives, not waste them.
