I think it's brought the world a lot closer together, and will continue to do that. There are downsides to everything; there are unintended consequences to everything. The most corrosive piece of technology that I've ever seen is called television - but then, again, television, at its best, is magnificent.
Steve Jobs

When you're young, you look at television and think, there's a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that's not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want.
Steve Jobs

If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace.
John Lennon

Life doesn't imitate art, it imitates bad television.
Woody Allen

In Beverly Hills... they don't throw their garbage away. They make it into television shows.
Woody Allen

I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.
Groucho Marx

I read in the newspapers they are going to have 30 minutes of intellectual stuff on television every Monday from 7:30 to 8. to educate America. They couldn't educate America if they started at 6:30.
Groucho Marx

I must say I find television very educational. The minute somebody turns it on, I go to the library and read a good book.
Groucho Marx

Television is not real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Bill Gates

Television could perform a great service in mass education, but there's no indication its sponsors have anything like this on their minds.
Tallulah Bankhead

In general my children refuse to eat anything that hasn't danced in television.
Erma Bombeck

Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there - I always suspected that I was watching TV instead of living life. Right when I was being shot and ever since, I knew that I was watching television.
Andy Warhol

When I got my first television set, I stopped caring so much about having close relationships.
Andy Warhol

They put me on television. And the whole thing broke loose. It was wild, I tell ya for sure.
Elvis Presley

It's a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field.
Stephen Covey

Television is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome.
T. S. Eliot

What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.
Salvador Dali

Television is a medium because anything well done is rare.
Fred Allen

Television is the triumph of machine over people.
Fred Allen

Television is a device that permits people who haven't anything to do to watch people who can't do anything.
Fred Allen
