There are television sets in every home, every restaurant, every hotel
room, and every shopping mall— now they're even small enough to carry in
your pocket like electronic rosaries. It is an unquestioned part of
everyday life. Kneeling before the cathode-ray god, with our TV Guide
concordance in hand, we maintain the illusion of choice by flipping
channels (chapters and verses).

The TV set, or
Satanic family altar, has grown more elaborate since the early 50's,
from the tiny, fuzzy screen to huge entertainment centres covering
entire walls with several TV monitors.
What
started as an innocent respite from everyday life has become in itself,
a replacement for real life for millions, a major religion of the
masses.
