Quotes by Giovanni Sartori  (?)

“Actualmente el pueblo soberano «opina» sobre todo en función de cómo la televisión le induce a opinar. Y en el hecho de conducir la opinión, el poder de la imagen se coloca en el centro de todos los procesos de la política contemporánea.”
Giovanni Sartori, Homo videns: La sociedad teledirigida

“El problema es que el niño es una esponja que registra y absorbe indiscriminadamente todo lo que ve [...] El niño formado en la imagen se reduce a ser un hombre que no lee, y, por lo tanto, la mayoría de las veces, es un ser «reblandecido por la televisión», adicto de por vida a los videojuegos.”
Giovanni Sartori, Homo videns: La sociedad teledirigida

“Y la cuestión es ésta: la televisión invierte la evolución de lo sensible en inteligible y lo convierte en el ictu oculi, en un regreso al puro y simple acto de ver. La televisión produce imágenes y anula los conceptos, y de este modo atrofia nuestra capacidad de abstracción y con ella toda nuestra capacidad de entender.”
Giovanni Sartori, Homo videns: La sociedad teledirigida
