Translated, the gibberish above turns into:

No, you're never alone in this world. You see, the invention of the
television was both good and bad. Good for those of us that watch it
occasionally to get ideas to create worlds, and bad for those who
watch too much and have their attention span shortened dramatically -
therefore creating markets for lots of junk for those of us whose minds
don't function as well anymore.

And to think educators once predicted that computer use would increase
literacy.
