Yet, "the world makes all sorts of demands the television set never told you about, such as study, patience, hard work, and a long apprenticeship in a trade or profession, before you may enjoy what the world has to offer." As a result, the kids, "missing the pleasant fantasies they enjoyed when they turned on the set, 'turn on' in other ways . . . passively waiting for something beautiful to happen...
