I think I've told the story before, but in one of my Radio-TV-Film classes the professor said, "Show of hands, how many of you were not allowed to watch television as a child?" and something like 85% of the hands in the room went up.

Forbid your kids a thing that is generally allowed in society, and just watch their obsession bloom...

Yes,

We had a ratty small B&W because Katkeeper's theory was it would be better if the TV was less realistic.

Right now I support some of the most complex video installations in the world, with the largest sizes and highest resolutions. There are 9 screens in my office and I look at screens 14 hours a day.
