Homo Videns - La Sociedad Teledirigida

In this book, Giovanni Sartori argues that the advent of television and visual media has led to a significant shift in human communication, replacing abstract thinking with image-based perception.

He contends that this transformation has atrophied our capacity for abstraction and understanding, making us more credulous and naive.

Sartori discusses the 'video-child' phenomenon, where television becomes the primary educator, and critiques the effects of this new form of communication on democracy and societal values.
