In the past if you wanted to learn something:
>Read a book
>Study an old manuscript
>Read newspapers with long text, debates and feuds between peoples
>Go to a local discussion or committee
>Talk politics in the pub with locals and learn what is going on in your community
>Join a club
>Meet new people at school/university becoming life-long friends and develop together
>Write a journal and keep a track of your life
Nowadays:
>Sit at home watching shit TV and propaganda all day stuffing your fat face
>Images and footage cut in a particular way and removed of all context and history to give you a particular idea
>Propaganda news owned by big CEO's that can assert any agenda without opposition to make themselves richer
>Watch a shit documentary that can be summarised in a 5 minute Wikipedia article
>Podcasts take literally 2 hours to explain what a book could explain in 10 minutes with more fluidity and precision
>Societal depression arises out of bad news on tv
>One must be aware at all times of what is going on on TV/pop culture in order to fit in without learning anything new by meeting new people

Printing press was more destructive than TV desu

Most people just used to spent their free time having fun with friends/family, remember that literacy is common since 19th century.

Eh, this seems to be going down the route of "all technology is bad" but I don't see how the printing press could be a bad thing if literacy rates rise as a result of it.
Greater literacy means more problem solving. I don't see how greater TV equates to more problem solving.

Not true. Actually reading things requires attention and concentration, plus internal consideration of whatever it is you're reading in order to gather a full understanding of it. Watching TV requires none of the above, and this fact is not only known to corporate heads, but has been utilized as a means of brainwashing and keeping the masses stupid in order to push and fulfill agenda. If you aren't aware of or refuse to acknowledge this, there is something wrong with you.
