I am who I am because of who I was in my formative years, and who I was has been the result of strong influences on me. I suppose I was born with certain innate traits, but the following eight influences seven humans, one technological from the “outside world” formed me as certainly as did the genes I inherited from my parents.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that all eight influences were from the world of media and entertainment. My generation was the first to grow up in front of the T.V. set. I don’t know if that was bad or good, but it’s the way it was; and so many of my influences came through the small screen. So I’m listing television itself as my first influencer.
