We are currently in the 'Information age' right?
This is the peak of the cycle...

well, yes... i do mean more access to information for all people, regardless of wealth... but why not the tv?

i wasn't talking about tv shows, par se, more about the fact that the public have no say what's shown on tv... especially advertisements, which not only interrupt every show we watch, bar the government owned bbc, but pepper the shows we watch, with product placement becoming a very big thing indeed.

i don't want a wider market, i'd referably not want a market at all, but firstly i would like a market where we, the people, can have a voice... to speak out against adverts and the such... to point out that fast food is bad for you... etc.
