Rise of the Image Culture

I agree with the author when she states that television has changed our culture. She only mentioned how it has effected us as consumers though, and not in any other way. I think TV has made much of America lazy and Violent. I know from personal experience that when I sit down in front of the TV I tend to get noting done. And when I watch Ultimate Fighting or something I just wanna go out and wrestle with someone. Right now I don't have cable and I get so much done as compared to having cable. I also agree when she mentioned the commercials get us to spend money. One commercial may not do anything, but I see a couple of things that catch my attention, it makes me want to shop.
