Television & Computer a boon or curse?

Question

Dear friends, what do you think? Two greatest inventions of 20th century, television and computers. Both have become integral part of our lives. How far these two are going to take us?

Answer 1

boon

Answer 2

I'm just curious what century you come from using the word boon...LMAO.

Anyway, it will come to the point where everything is connected. Scary thought. It will probably go all the way to microchipping for money and stored preferences, etc. Anything and everything you could ever want to know, except what the government hides, will be right at your fingertips.

Answer 3

Depends. Not as simple as this choice you present.

Television can communicate much information very quickly, very far. Unfortunately, it has not been used to the best purpose, education and edification, uplifting of the spirit and transmission of wisdom. Money and lack of clear thinking has negatively affected the production quality and content quality of television.

Computers, likewise, can transmit and moreover process large amounts of information, in many forms, numbers, equations, fields, vectors; graphics, music, digital video, text processing, and much more. Unfortunately, people don't tend to use it to develop their weak areas, or to the fullest capacity. People tend to use the computer as a toy, a word processor, or a dating machine.

These two inventions can take people with wise leadership very far. However, those communities and nations whose leadership are motivated merely by wealth and power will find their selves addicted to these things.
