From article <4352@ttidca.TTI.COM>, by hollombe@ttidca.TTI.COM (The Polymath): " In article <2000@trantor.harris-atd.com> chuck@trantor.harris-atd.com (Chuck Musciano) writes: " " If you think the crap and pap that even the best of TV programming " presents can replace books, you must be pretty illiterate yourself. Film " isn't significantly better and radio isn't even a visual medium. Let's try to distinguish prediction from wishful thinking, shall we? It can happen that TV replaces books even if you don't like that. Because the future may be horrifying won't keep it from happening. If freedom really depends on literacy, it is certainly an odd way of reasoning to assume that we will have freedom and to conclude that therefore literacy must endure.
