"Electron Poisoning" is about TV, and about fantasizing while watching TV. There were days when all TV for me required toys to follow the action. I would assemble the "actors" for anything on TV in advance, and then act out the plot with my toys as the story unfolded.

The phrase "Electron Poisoning" originates from those who believe that TV is harming the minds of those who watch it. This theory is, in my opinion, advanced balderdash. There were theories of the same nature about movies and science fiction novels. I am proudly a member of the first generation who spent most of their life with access to the TV, and I'm not strange. Well, just a little.
