Another one for TV…

I was reading this article from The Times about how Japanese are deserting TV to play on their Nintendo Wii, and frankly, they should! any time you turn on TV you will find either a food program or a variety show. that’s it!

The media scene is so much dominated by a small group of corporations & individuals you can count them on your fingers. Same people are in almost every channel and program. it feels like there are no other artists in this country!

NHK TV license

Today morning NHK guys came to my house. Obviously i am not paying the TV license, but then why should I? I don’t watch TV anymore, leave alone NHK.

that brings me to think about how I moved from the traditional media to the digital media. I spend a lot of time in front of my computer reading blogs, joining discussion forums, watching videos and listening to podcasts. I am now having the power to see & read what I am really interested in, and i have no intention to revert that trend.

I don’t trust TV anymore, or at least i came to realise that TV is not a trustworthy source of information. Most TV programs seem to be biased, or at least the Japanese ones. I somehow agree that TV companies have to generate revenue, but nowadays, programs are made just to promote sponsor’s products and services! they are no longer interested in providing valuable information & staying neutral (if they ever did). more than that, people are falling for their pray & blindly believe in everything they see on TV! my wife included!
