This reading had a new, and somewhat dark look at tv in a way I didn't think of. As he said, TV captures everything that happens in every day life, thus secrete can no longer be kept, or at least they're much harder to do so. I'll like to add that internet has only amplified this effect, and will only increased in that.
Youngblood saw this as mankind's conscious pooling together, which has its own benefits, but I can't help but think of this as constant surveillance from a government. The whole "no secrets being kept" thing can be used in benefitual way, but this isn't a perfect world, so its most likely going to be used for selfish ends. Hopefully though that can change over the future, where humans become more in tuned to the technology as Youngblood describes.
