He watches a lot of TV. The cuts, edits, zooms, and pans were added to productions in the mid 1900's in a big way because the screen on the TV was so small. Using cuts, edits, zooms, and pans was the only way to show things on such a small screen. But at the time both the small screen (that is a screen the does not effect too many neurons) and the small amount of TV and video programing to select from meant that the effect on the brain was small. But now that we have big screen TVs and a lot of DVD and cable, etc to select from we watch more TV and feel the effect on our brain in a big way. But now that we have big screen TVs we no longer need all those cuts, edits, zooms, and pans. We need to change the industry so that it is like it was in the early 1900's - a lot less cuts, edits, zooms, & pans. This means putting a lot of film editors on the unemployment lines. If we do not do this we will end up like the Romans - except we will not be done in by lead but by brains that do not work well because of too many cuts, edits, zooms, & pans.</p> My nephew will walk into a room and not remember why he walked into it.
