... and there was television (Routledge Revivals)

By Ellis Cashmore

Book Overview

First published in 1994, this book examines the extent to which television affects the people who watch it. Television is frequently blamed for increased violence, shortened attention spans, the decline of literacy and political indoctrination but here, the author argues that the biggest danger of television is how it encourages a consumer society.
