I'd say tv and radio were both comparable.
- paganel 5y agoFortunately TV and radio weren’t broadcasting what my peers/colleagues were doing in that very moment, so I wasn’t comparing myself to my school colleagues and I knew by definition that I wasn’t as cool as Kurt Cobain or Dr Alban (that’s what I saw on MTV back at that time). Not comparing myself with my peers almost each and every moment was a very good thing for adolescent me.
- cblconfederate 5y agotv and radio were unregulated?
- genericacct 5y agoYou didn't use the radio or TV in bed or in between classes, on the bus (ok maybe you used radio on the bus). I would say FB's reaches deeper into our lives than previous media did.
- dylan604 5y ago>You didn't use the radio or TV in bed This might be a cultural thing, but it is not uncommon to have radios/TVs in the bedroom.
- effingwewt 5y agoNot only that, but tv and radio have done more than their fair share of damage. I remember 'heroine chic' a la Ally McBeal, had a sister deal with it anorexia over it. They have been evil. Facebook and Instagram have been so much worse it would have been inconceivable to me had I not seen it with my own eyes. Youtube has done its share too, with exploitative kids videos and every kid wanting to become a youtuber. We need regulation on all of this shit 20 years ago.
- cutemonster 5y agoNot comparable. FB and Instagram are different in that you see how much attention your friends get, but you don't, and that can damage a child's self esteem. There're no likes and comments and self and peer generated content on TV.
