Amusing Ourselves to Death

Postman's critique feels very relevant today, but I wonder what prompted him to zero in on TV specifically back in the 1980s. Was it a personal observation or something more widespread at the time?

The book made me think about how much of what we see in the media is designed to entertain rather than inform. Do others think this has improved or worsened since the book was written?

The book predates platforms like Twitter and TikTok, but its insights seem more relevant than ever. I'm curious whether others see it as a warning or an outdated perspective.
