I was watching a show on 'The Boston Strangler' about how the media actually created the image in the American mind of the 'serial killer'.
There was never such a case before in America. I recall hearing about it while I was in high school. So my point is how 'media' information input affects us.
My thought is that this intake of media supplied information may actually be a form of mind control being maliciously fed to us in order to keep us in line.
If we can rally around or against different things then those in charge can understand how to maintain control over a populace. In effect it creates public consciousness. I am beginning to see that such a public consciousness is analogous to being chained.
I noticed this after reducing my media intake to a minimum including most news local or national etc makes a many sided difference in the way I view the world.
I began to think of all the different media information inputs many media consumers bring into themselves. I thought 'no wonder society is sick.'
I've often wondered what human consciousness was like when there were no man made mechanical sounds. Just the forest.
Anyone got any thoughts on the media as means of creating control through manipulation of consciousness by information input of any kind?
