  Chapter 6 talks about how TV changes serious things like religion, education, and news into entertainment. Neil Postman argues that TV makes all information look the same because it needs to be fun and easy to watch. Unlike books that make people think deeply, TV focuses on keeping viewers happy and engaged through pictures and emotions.
  The part about religion on TV really made me think. Postman says TV preachers act more like TV stars than spiritual leaders. They care about good lighting and smiling faces more than sharing real beliefs. This makes religion seem like just another TV show. I agree - when serious ideas become entertainment, people stop caring about their true meaning.
  Today, this feels even more true. Social media and short videos make everything "snackable" content. We watch politics like sports games and learn through TikTok clips. Postman warned us that mixing entertainment with important messages makes society shallow. After reading this chapter, I realize we need to protect serious thinking in our screen-filled world. True understanding takes time and effort, not just quick laughs.
