I would have to agree with the fact that Tv all contains nothing but brainless activity. To even simply function a computer however, you need to use your brain. Tv is becoming obsolete, and moreso a viewing tool rather than people watching cable TV. its just becoming strictly used as a screen to view, thus i think the computer is best

Steve, this is a great point – one that is subtle yet powerful. The computer as a tool to ‘turn on’ the creativity in the brain (I want to say ‘a no-brainer’ ;-P) seems to be very true.

The tools that we have available to us today to project our thoughts to the world are phenomonal. They all in their own way, remove barriers and allow us to explore those random thoughts we have more often. As software continues to become simpler and easier to use, our ability to concentrate on those random ideas increases.

I too am excited to be able to turn my brain on more often in this creative age – and how lucky are we to be here? We are living the future.
