1985 book by professor Neil Postman on "Amusing Ourselves" via social media machines / HDTV devices

This is an interesting essay that applies the insights and warnings from noted media theorist Neil Postman's 1985 book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" to our current media. It's dark but not completely dark; there's a bit of optimism at the end. And possibly some gratification for us on the Fediverse who have rejected algorithms.

The medium is the metaphor.
