i only compared facebook with tv yesterday when i read the other news on how one of the previous executive of fb was feeling "sad" for how facebook is gaming our life to make it more addictive...but there is limitation to television and at that time you could not take tv in your pocket so it was limited to your home
also tv is a one way broadcasting system when facebook is like 2 way system ...
Now, when TV is part of our life we're used to that brainwashing and most people don't notice it any more.
