Amusing Ourselves to Death

My newspaper purchase this past Sunday reminded me of Postman's book, Amusing Ourselves to Death. In his novel, Postman critiques the presence of the digital/visual world as a sub-par replacement for the written word.

My incentive to buy the Sunday ABC, a Spanish daily newspaper, was a free DVD: El Pacto de los Lobos. Although the movie isn't an award winner, it's an inexpensive, college-student-friendly way to collect some Spanish films along the way!
