White Dot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

White Dot is a small anti-television organisation based in the UK. It encourages people to not watch television, and also to switch off televisions in cafés and pubs with devices such as the TV-B-Gone. It also organises what it calls zocalo (a Mexican term for a town square) events where people are requested to turn off their televisions, go outside and talk to their neighbours.

The organisation is named after the white dot that appeared on old television screens when switched off.

White Dot is based in the area around Brighton in England. It is a member of the US-based TV turnoff organisation.
