Song is called Television featuring @mickjenkins Link in bio 🤙🏼 - I’ve crushed about 10 documentaries & multiple movies since covid hit so I’m guilty as charged. However, your brain is a muscle like any other muscle in the body. When you read you are working out. With that said here is an eye opening passage about television 📺... - The principal way we now tell stories in our culture is over television. As I noted, forty years have passed since the majority of Americans adopted television as their primary source of information. As we’ve seen, its dominance has become so extensive that the average American spends two-thirds of his or her “discretionary time” (time other than working, sleeping, and commuting) watching television. And virtually all significant political communication now takes place within the confines of flickering thirtysecond television advertisements. The physical effects of watching trauma on television – the rise in blood pressure and heart rate – are the same as if an individual has actually experienced the traumatic event directly. Moreover, it has been documented that television can create false memories that are just as powerful as normal memories. When recalled, television-created memories have the same control over the emotional system as do real memories. And the consequences One analyst of this study said of respondents describing their reactions to 9/11, “Those who watched the most television reported the most stress.” The constant and repetitive triggering of the orienting response induces a quasi-hypnotic state. It partially immobilizes viewers and creates an addiction to the constant stimulation of two areas of the brain: the amygdala and the hippocampus (part of the brain’s memory and contextualizing system). It’s almost as though we have a “receptor” for television in our brains. That is one of the reasons why I feel so passionately about connecting the television medium to the Internet and opening it up to the creativity and talent of individuals. I believe it is extremely important to pay considerably more attention to the quality and integrity of television programming made by citizens.
