Thinking
"It is impossible even to think without a mental picture" Aristotle said. Doesn't that mean that when we get pre-digested thought as on TV (which provides us little opportunity to think) we slowly lose the capacity to form mental images on our own. Someone else is doing our work for us.  more...
