W4L:Television, after all still have one benefit

It is indescribable all the advances that the human race has made through time for their benefit. Since we have begun to increment our knowledge, we started to get the conquest of other areas of life, work, even the space. For that kind of advance we used to have and incredible tool that helped us as well as challenged us.
But nowadays that incredible tool, has just become a brain washer and also the big owners of that resource are using it against us. The television before that was used like a massive medium of communication, today just a box that keep people busy, showing them programs with out relevance and for kids just shows to make them to stay at their house.
Nowadays with the growing up of the big companies and the big markets, the chairman's of these companies change the used of the TV. Changing everything on it, they started put in some programs with overloaded restricted content just to saw how that works, and surprise works better than they thought.
The first thing that you'll see on a TV programming is a bunch of commercials telling you to buy this or that, how to dress, how to be and with all that advertisement they make you buy tings that you maybe don't need even you don't know what it is.
About entertainment, there are a lot of cartoons making kids lazy or trying to be a superheros, another programs for teenagers just make them think that life is great and easy kind of "going with the flow", for adults well mostly everything is about sex and corruption or in some cases been a bad person is a good thing. Now to get more your attention became to develop people that suppose to be singers one day; or big brothers or get your love while a lot of people is watching how you life, behind this is just a distraction to you to the out world, the problems of our society, our economy, even problems whit your kids that you ignores cause you are to busy watching a guy trying to be rich opening cases.
Last but no least important, the news manipulated for some of the chairman, tell you just half of the story (the good part), or they just keep you busy with the weather, traffic or the news of the famous people; other programs about nature, well if you don't know but it is weird, mostly all our environment is collapsing, but doesn't matter we are superior to all the live things in this world, does it?.
Many years have gone and that great invention instead to be helpful has been made into tool to manipulate people, to work in our minds, just think about it, after all I think we still can give one use to it, it looks nice in your living room like a framed picture, ha!.
