Marie Winn eventually became a journalist whose books include The Plug-In Drug, a scathing critique on television's influence over children.
Winn is the author of the influential The Plug-In Drug (1977), an often scathing critique of television's addictive influence on the young, Winn wrote, "The television experience allows the participant to blot out the real world and enter into a pleasurable and passive mental state."
Winn was even more hostile to the Internet and the World Wide Web than she had been to television itself twenty-five years before.
