What if the goverment had the technology to watch us while we watch TV and all channels are there to watch us react to certain situations, news, cartoons, soap operas... they watch you and wait for a certain response, then they blind you with it. You become a part of a category and it's all done using micro computers.
They watch us day and night, every day, every night the same thing. The more you watch the more they learn about you. To think that the more we watch the more we become zombies, like we seem to mimic the tv for it's the only thing we know. Most TV watchers believe the news, think of certain shows as realistic.
Like the purpose of the CIA, is to gather information. I think this is one way that they get information.
Call Me Paranoid,
But think of the technology they have to watch us with.

I don't think that they would learn much from watching people staring blankly at the screen or laughing when the laugh-track cues them.

The government would learn this from watching us watch TV?

LOL! I just thought of it. Grays can read your emotions and your thoughts just as easily as a tv can manipulate the mind.

Hey! - The scenario you described might make it interesting to watch TV for a change! Just think. You could fuck with the feds by cackling hysterically for twelve hours straight at one of those antique roadshows, sob uncontrollably watching the Cosby Show, jerk off to Masterpiece Theatre. Ahh, the possibilities.

I can't believe no one's mentioned 1984 yet... this is exactly the kind of surveillance technology they had, except instead of watching tv shows they got to look at Big Brother's ugly mug while the Party watched them...

I know it was just an idea, but here's another thing.. Governments don't build televisions - Sony, Panasonic and the rest of them do. If there were some technology like this, I think a TV repair-man or an electronics disassembly specialist such as myself probably would have found it by now.

if i was a shifty big brother type, id be more interested in spying on those who don't watch TV. what are they doing with their time if their not wasting it in front of the television? learning things? eek gads, that i couldn't allow.
iv been TV free for a few years now, and now on the rare occasions i sit in front of a friends TV i cant believe people spend their time with that shit. the indoctrinating elements of television becomes far more transparent when you take a break from it. sedate and rule

Well the whole idea of Mind Control through tv was kinda dumb.
Yeah true TV is like false experience, when we should be outside meeting people and learning the real thing..

You're right.
But, regarding your whole original idea, the notion of the government watching us while most of us watch television is unfounded and untrue, but yet the corporate/media complex has its ways of determining how its audiences respond, and they alter their content and approach subsequently, fine-tuning their methods to keep you watching.
Most people probably watch television because it satisfies their desire for experiencing life without having to expend effort towards actually experiencing life.

Fireworks_god, watching TV for experience is like cheating you existance.
You throw hours and hours of life away in front of a TV.
Atleast with computers we can interact.

I'm thinking computers aren't much better, think about the noise of the computer. Even coming to this forum is bad for your health, seeing all these people defending and arguing different beliefs (someone could actually feel like we had something important to teach) and I feel bad for the people who read my long winded posts, they must become confused and exhausted. Everything in moderation I suppose.
I know that Google or some other corporation has the technology to record you from the microphone on your computer if you own a Mac, so I don't see why this TV idea wouldn't be possible. I don't watch TV anymore just because I can't watch it for more than 5 minutes without getting angry at how stupid everything is, besides the History channel or the Nature channel maybe.

Wrong, most folk out there are dumber then your TV. I suggest getting a DVD player and watching a few good movies each week. This way you can have the best of what humanity has to offer. (as fantasy)

Dumber then your TV? As if the television had some kind of intelliegence..
Please explain - Icelander, how can you compare someone's intelligence to a movie, cartoon etc?
We have plenty of reality tv shows.
