Are We Really Thinking?

In Postman's last line he talks about how people today have stopped thinking. He said that because people are laughing and not thinking they don’t know why they are actually laughing. Postman says that the problem is not that people are laughing and not thinking about it, but that people do not know why they stopped thinking and knowing what they are laughing at. This shows that our society has focused more on entertainment and less on actually thinking about what is entertaining them. As long as a show is captivating the attention of people they do not care that they have stopped thinking and mindlessly watch something and not know why they have stopped thinking.
