The Dividing Ubiquity

       ‘What do you do on a Sunday afternoon? You watch your favourite sports programme? Why not do something useful and riot instead? A little insurrection is a good thing...’ – Dr. David Dolowitz

       While I do believe these words were spoken humorously, they do hold a certain troubling truth within them – the ubiquitous influence of entertainment has turned most people into inactive, irrational, irresolute, apathetic, superfluous, simple-minded ‘couch potatoes’.

       People devote their terribly insufficient time to celebrity gossip, derivative shows, tedious sports channels, pointless films, unenlightening magazines, dumb music and clichéd books… When there is so much to do and so little – so utterly, inadequately little – time to do it.   

       You might be perplexed or flabbergasted by my sincere dislike of that particular product of modern society.

       I would even try to elaborate, if I believed an explanation was necessary.
