Summary/Abstract: Remote control it is an object of freedom. Any time you want, you can choose what to see or not to see; when to see and when not; why to see and why not. Watching TV is not the same at all as reading a book. At least this is what Alexandru Călinescu takes from Jean-Francois Barbier-Bouvet as a spirit of new culture.
