George Gilder is the conservative author of "Life After Television: The Coming Transformation of Media and American Life." Gilder argues that television is too controlled by top-down mechanisms, but he foresees a system of computers that will allow the users to view whatever they wish at any time. Wallace does not find this a good solution for the problems of television because people will become even more attached to these electronic devices than television.
