>can it possibly be any good for us ?!?! Oh sorry, let's get back to the "correct" behavior of sitting still watching a screen with no interaction. The author seems aware that this opinion is elitist. But the idea that putting on a TV as background noise is somehow wasting the planets resources... I mean, but why not compare it to other things you can be doing? Driving a car... Or traveling to a far off country... Using a phone while a TV is on has got to be one of the least pollutant activities a person can spend their time doing.

Martin Scorcese recently publicly lamented his excellent Netflix project The Irishman because he didn't like the way people were watching it, on the small screen. I guess he'd be doubly upset that 88% of those small screen viewers had another even smaller screen holding their attention. I think this is an interesting transition period for the art and artists.
