| The worst thing about television and
radio is that they entertain us, saving us the trouble of entertaining
ourselves. A hundred years ago, before all these devices were invented, if a person wanted to entertain himself with a song or a piece of music, he would have to do the singing himself or pick up a violin and play it.
