The persuasive technique used in MacNeil's question is called a rhetorical question.
Rhetorical questions are used to make a point or persuade the audience by presenting a question that doesn't require an answer but is asked for rhetorical effect. In this case, MacNeil uses the question to emphasize the idea that people have collectively given up a significant amount of leisure time for a specific toy or mass diversion. The question is intended to make the audience think and reflect on the situation rather than eliciting a factual answer.
