Orwell got it wrong with the wall mounted screens - 'they' want us to wear the screens. What was that album title? 'If you accept this,your kids are next., ' Can't remember which band
If you tolerate this, your children will be next. Is a Manic Street Preachers song.
Thanks, almost got it right. A long while since I listened.
They'll be next and they won't know any better
"If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next." By the Manic Street Preachers.
That's the one, thanks. Almost got it right!
Orwell also got it wrong not predicting people would not want to turn of their telescreens
Absolutely. IIRC, the option of turning them off was only available to very high ranking members and even then only for relatively short periods of time.
Now we have Boomers with Fox on 24/7.
Been had that
