Television Day 21
God in a Box. Like the authentic God, television and increasingly the Internet are both omnipresent and omnipotent. The internet and television are everywhere and have all-powerful authority. Both bring into our lives at the touch of a button all the wonders of nature and of the universe. Television gives us visions of the future when we travel at warp speed across the galaxies to behold new imaginary Star Trek civilizations. The internet enables us to transport in a moment around the globe to Ireland, the Soviet Union, Australia even the Antarctic for the latest news.
We can no longer say of the multitudes of starving refugees in Central Africa, "We didn't know," for television and the internet are everywhere. The prophets of television and the internet are authoritative and forceful figures. Engrossed audiences by the millions listen intently to the wisdom of television gurus like Oprah Winfrey, Dr Oz, The Doctors, Dr Phil, Judge Judy, and others. Saints in this technological cult are created out of television personalities not because of their sacrificial service for others but because of their ability to act out what they are not. Internet companies like Microsoft, Google, Yahoo have great wealth and wield great power even over nations as large and powerful and China.
