[QUOTE="Lozzie, post: 792076, member: 2369"] Hmmm, like (i think son) said, it will evolve. People are naturally voyeuristic by nature. We do judge ourselves based on what others are doing...so I suppose you could say that people are trying to find out about themselves, and looking for a social 'anchor'. So in this respect, reality TV could be around for a long time. In what direction this evolution will take place though, I do not know. There have been various criticisms made toward reality tv, stating that surely things will just get wilder to get the evocative reaction that keeps the ratings high...for instance a death/birth live on TV. Personally, I'm not interested...if I am, it tends to be briefly, and generally because it is everywhere-and I like to know what is of interest to people. There is much interest in what other people are doing in the media. Take for instance the amount of weekly 'Glossie's' that saturate the magazine racks. It seems the balance of what is healthy (in terms of viewing and judging another) in the media has been tipped and is flowing, in a slightly uncontrollable mix of what the public want, and the amount of money to be earned giving it to them. I fear that this will run it's course untill something drastic or bad will happen. This might be a slightly pessimistic view of what is going on. But I do think it's grim. (personally). At some point it will end, or evolve out of all recognition. but when this will happen is, I think, a long way off. It'd take some drastic and sudden thing or thought to occur (on a massive social scale) for it to stop soon. Don't worry though, rubbish TV keeps the general populus where they want to be. In complete ignorance. But this I am told, is bliss.:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
