Mike Gs Eclectic Reads | Amusing Ourselves To Death -- Neil Postman [Book Review] @mikegseclecticreads | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
In a prescient essay from 1985, Postman warns future generations of the dangers of TV, computers, and Sesame Street.
* I erroneously state in the video that Indiana was the 18th state admitted to the Union -- a fact check while editing revealed that it was actually the 19th state, which can also be verified by counting the stars on the state flag. This would be an example of a statement that is both misinformation AND disinformation :)
=============================
0:00 Intro
2:42 The age of show business
5:07 Information and disinformation
9:07 The danger of education as entertainment
12:19 Was Postman right?
14:09 Would Postman have hated this video?
