Postman 11

     At the end of the eleventh chapter, Postman makes the point about being aware, or un-aware of our changing culture.  This brings up the point of "boil the frog slowly" which basically means: if you put a frog in water and slowly turn up the heat, he won't realize that he is dead until...he is dead.  Especially true with our generation, we only know the type of life that involves entertainment and electronics.  The question is, how hot is the water?  If it is true that this is really bad, is Postman the only one who sees it?  He does make some good points in the book so maybe he is right.  Maybe we should stop entertaining ourselves with constant stimulation, and get back to our roots.
