Dear Friends

Yesterday I visited a prison and saw many inmates riveted on a TV program showing during their lunch time. Not an ordinary riveting, but an almost addictive-type riveting, to the point of being oblivious to anyone and anything around them.

An unhealthy type of riveting

And I couldn't help thinking about the theme of the dumbing down of society, about which I've read a lot in recent years, and written a little

What a contradiction:  At a time when electronic communication is developing at a phenomenal rate, we humans are gradually reverting to a more primitive type of life, made up of eating, sleeping and entertainment

Hope I'm wrong

Anyone any thoughts on this?   jdwomi@gmail.com
