In The 4 Hour Work Week, Tim Ferriss recommends that you go on a media diet, and take in only information that you actually need.  This diet includes reading.  Now, while I don’t condone reading, I beg to differ with Mr. Ferriss’ opinion – which I can because it’s just an opinion.  You see, information is incredibly important in today’s society.  If it wasn’t, why would we have The Information Highway so the stuff can move at a fast pace?  At best, we’d need The Information Pony Express, or if we wanted to have inconsistent delivery of said information in more contemporary times, The Information Postal Service.  If you’re reading this right now, I know you’re not paying attention to Mr. Ferriss’ advice – or already have and decided that Effing The Dog™ is more to your liking.  I also know you know how to use the Internet, or have someone looking over your shoulder that does.  But there is a tried, tested and true tool that you can also use to get pretty much every piece of information and misinformation out there:  Television.
