Bill O’Reilly Slams PS3 Launch, Gamers, iPods, Digital Tech (not in that order) is a story with partial transcript on a recent O’Reilly (of the “no spin zone”) rant about technology prompted by the PS3.
American society is changing for the worse because of the machines… In the past to flee the real world people usually chose drugs or alcohol… now you don’t have to do that, Now all you have to do is have enough money to buy a machine…
I wonder if TV shows (like the O’Reilly Factor) or books qualify as technologies that are used to flee the real world?
The story is in a blog GamePolitics.com that I just found. Lots of posts on the PS3 launch and related violence.
