Chewing gumis usually associated with some thoughtless automatic process. Television hasrecently become like a chewing gum too. For many years it has been considered the main source of information.  But in recent years it has turned out in someendless entertainment full of silly commercials and stupid soap operas.  Very often people can’t tell one film fromanother, or one TV show from another because they are so much alike.  For some people watching TV turned into the constantswitching of the channels.  They fail tofind what they like so they prefer to watch a little bit of everything whichleads to total absence of any integral or useful information.  It is very hard to get a full picture of afilm when every five minutes it is interrupted by commercials.  Permanent blinking of bright colours and a rapidchange of images make people lose the sense of what is shown.  In the end theyjust passively watch the programmes as if they were chewing a gum.  And when a programme becomes too boring, theyjust switch to another channel.  And thenext day people just take a new fresh chewing gum and chew it till it becomestasteless and then they spit it out ruthlessly. Don’t you think watching TV isthe same?
