How do you feel about television?
At least there's some ability to interact with a smartphone, there's absolutely none of that with TV, and yet society survived.
- ImprobableTruth 6y ago> How do you feel about television? I think it's kinda too early too judge (only ~60 years of widespread adoption and in this time the TV landscape has changed massively), but I think there's a pretty good chance that 'tabloid style' TV has caused a good deal more damage than the yellow press has. > At least there's some ability to interact with a smartphone Sure, but that also makes it a lot more addictive. You generally won't see people who are glued to their TV 24/7, but with smartphones that's not uncommon. > yet society survived Again, I'm not saying that society will just implode on itself, just that these things can do a lot of damage.
