Millions of Americans are affected by the commercially - inspired electronic manipulation () of artificial images.We call it "entertainment" and can't wait to get more.As the number of commercially available television channels grows, the viewer's freedom of choice increases, but so does the burden of that choice.Increasingly he is faced with a sea of in formation and is asked to make quick choices.
