Heck, people saw this coming even before the TV was
invented.........
"Socrates: And there will be animals of many other kinds, if people
eat them?
Glaucon: Certainly.
Socrates: And living in this way we shall have much greater need of
physicians than before?
Glaucon: Much greater.
Socrates: And the country which was enough to support the original
inhabitants will be too small now, and not enough?
Glaucon: Quite true.
Socrates: Then a slice of our neighbors land will be wanted by us
for pasture and tillage and they will want a slice of ours, if,
like ourselves, they exceed the limit of necessity, and give
themselves up to the unlimited accumulation of wealth?
Glaucon: That, Socrates will be inevitable.
Socrates: And so we shall go to war, Glaucon, shall we
not?"
