Zapping is one way to avoid being contaminated by all the television commercials that most TV channels arepolluting the air with. There exist other possibilities for a person that wants to avoid advertisements on TV. One drastic solution is to sell your television set, which is 100 per cent successful butalso quite boring. So zapping has become the best solution for most people. But there are some problems too: the most notable one is that, whenever you start to zap, you can’t seem to stop. This can bemost annoying. Another problem is that simultaneous watching of two or more TV channels can make your eyes and brains stop functioning properly, so you will need training for this (an expert can watchfour channels at the same time).

If more than one person is present, or if you are abit schizophrenic, another problem can arise about which channel should be visible on the TV. Violence is often the only way to solve this problem.
