Does Bauerlein watch the Olympics? You can’t read Olympic winners out of a book the day it occurs. Unless someone was in Beijing watching Phelps, you had to be at home watching through the TV. You can always read it in the news paper a day later but you will not get the adrenalin pumping and the nerves shooting through your body when he came so close to losing.
If we don’t watch TV then how do we get news and know what is happening in the world. If there was a bad car accident one afternoon you will not hear about it until maybe the next morning if you only read the paper for your news. These days people like to know what is happening seconds after it happens.
If you live in California and a wild fire breaks out and you don’t watch TV and by the time you read the newspaper and find out it is headed you way it may be too late.
The TV is useful these days; Bauerlein is right about some people. People do park themselves in front of TVs for too long. But he is wrong about getting information only from reading. He would be behind in life if he only gets his information from reading.
