This is something I notice about older generations, they seem to experience history as a TV news cycle. Watch Forrest Gump and you'll know what I'm talking about, or here is another example:
You get the impression of an entire generation of people glued to the TV set, having their experience and worldview defined by what they see there. When people think of the 60's, they think of the shows, brands, and imagery they remember from the 60's. When people think of the 70's, they think of the stereotypes cultivated by the media about the 70's.
These people are a slave to history. I am old enough to remember the time before the internet. The average person had absolutely no control over the events transpiring in the world, unlike today. All historical events seemed to be part of the inevitable march of history, unalterable, inevitable, and eternal. It was as if the news was just another TV show, with pre-planned scripting.
People saw the TV as a literal godlike entity. If you were a TV star, you were above all other humans, like a walking demigod on earth. I remember a few times one of my friends got on the news, people treated them as if they were an angel from heaven. People almost wanted to touch the hem of their shirt to make sure they were real.

Ha, thank god that times are no more, and i do get what you say, i also experienced it. Like, i know people that are still literally brainwashed by the tv. Their life is just to do what the mass media says. It's pretty sad.
At least with the internet, things are unstable and change so fast that people have to time to completely submit.

I disagree. People in the past had greater involvement in institutions, be it their churches, unions, cultural or social events. This would have led to people feeling like they had a fair bit more personal agency than we do today. There was also a lot more competition in the media, giving rise to a wide diversity of views. Television was always fetishized like you say, because it was more difficult to get on the air than, say, to give an interview to a community newspaper or magazine, but people were never as limited in their sources of information as they are now. The Internet should have theoretically delayed the process of media consolidation, but it actually accelerated it rapidly.

This is a good point and I know exactly what you mean. The internet really did change everything.
