TV, rather than dumbing people down, actually makes them smarter, according to this article in the New York Times magazine, excerpted from a new book called “Everything Bad Is Good for You,”by Steven Johnson. The book sounds right up my alley, and has already joined my already very-crowded Amazon wishlist.
Because if my blog had been around 35 years ago, do you think I’d be able to come up with more than one or two points on “Gunsmoke: Liberal or Conservative”?
