Where do ideas come from?

Ideas don't come from watching television

My humble opinion,

In fact, knowledge and things on TV seem incompatible.

In truth, I do not have much patience for television. I cannot spend hours jumping from one channel to another. At most, sit back and watch a movie and then goodbye! A paradox... I’m a TV professional…common mistake in this tribe of old professionals!

Surely, virtual world allows people to assume roles are quite different than in reality. But I find it all extremely interesting. There’s a huge difference between the user and viewer. Active vs laid back!

Is there space for both?

Much of the success of this type of social network, at least in my opinion, is the wave of grace that has plagued this world. People feel very alone in the dynamics of accumulation and how social interactions require a real effort and a great expenditure of energy, you end up going for the facilities of the internet!

In fact celebrities are like horses racing for the RGB carrot...Or should I say for the 1010 apple?! 

I agree with you, people want to pretend to achieve a different goal than they really are looking.
