Keep in mind that Ra says "the sum effect of this gadget"...that means that it can have other effects of the individual, but when viewed as an influence on society as a whole, it tends to be more of a distraction.
I think that movies, television, music, and video games can all be used as both Ra and yourself suggest plenum...that is, "to stimulate emotions, experience archetypes, to blend images and sound and voice into a perceptive artwork." This effect is a lot greater when entering into the experience with the intent to learn and grow from it.
Also, sometimes, "distraction and sleep" isn't necessarily a bad thing though, as they can offer a sort of "pause button" on any intense catalyst we're dealing with. But when someone fills their life with TV shows and movies in order to avoid catalyst at all cost, I can see how it prevents any real growth.
