BAIRD, JOHN LOGIE (1888 – 1946) Engineer, Inventor of Television. What was conceived as in innocuous parlour trick has heralded a dark age of sadism, vanity and sloth. The imaginations of subsequent generations have been deadened by its influence to the extent that many children of the current generation have been born without the capacity to dream, referring instead to the generic memory bank created and controlled by television production companies. While I might differ with many aspects of psychiatric dream interpretation, I wouldn't dispute the role that dreams play in filtering the subconscious. Without this function, sections of the human race will inevitably mutate into a subspecies entirely dependent upon machines and unevolved humans for survival. Los Angeles, the home of the television industry, already contains many prototypes of this tragic new race: confined to their wastefully large cars, they dress like infants and worship at the altar of their pets while bemoaning the onset of MID LIFE CRISIS.
