<em><u>It is obvious that there is nothing wrong with entertainment.  As a psychiatrist once said, we all build castles in the air</u></em><u>. </u><u>The problem arises when we try to live in them</u>.

Television has reached the status of "<u><em>metamedium</em></u>," <em><u>that is, the instrument that directs not only our knowledge of the world, but also our perception of ways of knowing</u></em>, <u>which is already a danger</u>.

At the same time we can say that television has achieved the status of "<u>myth</u>". <u>Which means that it's about  define a way of understanding the world that is not problematic, of which we are not fully aware and which seems natural, which is not real</u>, <u>and remains another danger</u>.

A <u>myth</u> <em><u>is a way of thinking so deeply rooted in our consciousness that it becomes invisible, which makes it automatic and uncontrollable, </u></em><u>and that is also a danger.</u>
