F: Robert, I know you have strong feelings about the media.
M: I do. I’ve never had a television in my life. I grew up before television was really common and I just don’t have time for it. I think you have to look at the trade-off for whatever you do.
F: What do you mean by trade-off?
M: What it costs, not only in money, but in terms of what it does to your life. I have no real machines in my apartment. Well, I do have an FM radio.
F: Yeah, what do you listen to?
M: Oh, weather reports, good music. And I have a telephone now, but I lived for eight years without one.
F: Eight years without a telephone?
M. Well, I discovered there were telephones on every street corner and I really didn’t need one for anything.
F: Do you have a computer?
M. I do not own a computer. Because when I go on the Internet, I’m always disappointed. You see, I think modern technology destroys all the beauty and meaning in life. The machine gets in the way. And I don’t want to be part of a machine. That’s not the way I want to live my life.
F: Aren’t there any good things that the modern media bring us? I don’t know. . . closer contact with other people?
M. Well, I do have a confession to make. The only modern form of media I really like is the jet plane. I mean, I know it’s not "the media," but I really consider it to be a form of communication. It has allowed me to travel all over the world. I get great enjoyment out of traveling. I link up with people from foreign countries, I meet them, I talk to them, and so in that way, the jet plane has improved international communication, much more than fax or e-mail will ever do.
F: What an interesting idea! Thank you, Robert.
