One mans meet is another mans poison. So what you think meaningless may be what the others do like. As for me what is meaningless are the advertisements. Yet they are required for the existence of the Television. So we do have to tolerate.

Thankfully - TV will be distributed online soon- so we'll end up with a menu of TV we can watch whenever we like. That's definately the way forward. It certainly is better than having 30 channels and there's still nothing worth watching on!
It also would stop the highly subjective pursuit of ratings - it would just be downloads - which can be counted accurately.

Commercialism rise when there is a lack of sales. The television is in it's present stage for de-value while the computer is becoming the new tool for the next generations, the replacement for all the people who are being killed.( opinion)

In the early years of the industry it was conceived as a pure communication and information media. Then advertising got involved and its purpose was subverted. Today, it is even worse because of the use of government propoganda and because right wing radicals have used it as a method to push their insideous ideaologies.

Television is just a reflection of the people who watch it.

Your first sentence answered your question. It IS a powerful means of communication. As with any means of communication, there is good info and bad info.

Because much of the time we communicate meaninglessly.

when they have finished talking about the important things, they need to fill the time with something.
