TELEVISION: THE PLUG-IN DRUG by MARIE WINN

It can be realized clearly in Marie Winn's “The Plug-in Drug” text that she has concerns about the omnipresence of television and as a problem, TV takes place in people's life like a drug. Possible reasons can be indicated for this metaphor in relation with its symtoms, results but most essentially television has so strong effects on people's life that it can change someone's whole point of view, thinking style, way of living, socibility and even body type. Such an essential tool in individual's stressful or problematic lives may easily absorb them in its perfect and easy but “fake” life. For instance, one of the basic family rituals, having a dinner at one table with all the family members is changed to eating something while watching TV without communication with other family members. When TV-viweing become an addiction like drugs, it has outcomes that are difficult to get rid of.
