Yes, We're Finally Done.

In the last paragraph of chapter 11, Neil Postman writes, " For in the end, he was trying to tell us that what afflicted the people in Brave New World was not that they were laughing instead of thinking, but that they did not know what they were laughing about and why they had stopped thinking."  Postman's message in this is that people are watching television and following the media.  But while doing this, our society has simply stopped thinking.  We are being so entertained that when we watch television and laugh or find something entertaining, we don't even know why we think it's funny or why we are so entertained by it.
