Television
Even the simple act of watching television has become more stressful. For the most part, the shows of the past were simple and relaxing. Once upon a time, our biggest excitement was watching someone trying to win $64,000, or Lucy having a baby, or Eddie Haskell telling Mrs. Cleaver what a lovely dress she was wearing. However, late in 1963, television changed, and changed us forever. The JFK assassination and the four days that followed was covered on television to the exclusion of just about everything else. We all sat, glued to the television, watching the images from Dallas and Washington and other parts of the world. In those four days, we sent a signal to those who transmit the signals to us. The result is that now, we can sit and watch 24 hours a day of news, wars, terrorist attacks impeachment hearings, plane crashes, hostage-takings, riots, murder trials and other stress-producing events.
