The new face of Reality
Posted by imfaraz Oct 26, 2004 07:45 pm
Broadcast media is a business, and its run like a business, it thrives on the human greed, lust and curiosity.

I have seen bored housewives pry into each other`s lives way before Reality tv came in. So the grounds for a desi reality show like ``pardosi`` or ``bee-jamalo`` is already in our culture.

I fovor parental regulation on the amount of television children should watch. Speaking from personal experience, my younger siblings are prisoners of television. Television programming has become such a big part of their lives that they have detached themselves from the world around them and they prefer to stay at home and watch tv than engage themselves in social interaction.

I do not know a `one fits all` solution to this invasion of broadcast media in our lives, but we can start by accepting it as an `addiction`.
