1. Jerry Mander goes into great detail about the effects television has now on humans, with their relationship with the environment, sources of knowledge changing, the atrophy of sensory tools and even perception of reality. So when technology such as virtual reality or augmented reality becomes more common, how will that affect human relationships with the subjects mentioned above?
2. As I understand, the book was published in 1977 and devices such as laptops and cellphones were not commercially released yet. The television by itself is a stationary device but with mobile devices, is it more difficult to isolate oneself in nature like Mander describes if a portable device could be carried in your pocket?
