The “boob tube” was common parlance back in the day, so all those olds got it then.
But we during commute, work and school all day we did not have a phone in front of our face for 8 hours. I was watching a roofing crew awhile back and the number of times someone pulled their phone out was startling.
That said, here is a free YC startup idea: tiktok for olds. Scrape all those old shows and build memes.
- chefandy 4y ago> the number of times someone pulled their phone out was startling What about it did you find startling?
- hindsightbias 4y agoRoofing is dangerous enough. My crew boss would have smacked me in the head back in the day. Nail gun in one hand and phone in the other on slippery rain shield…
- chefandy 4y agoHandling a nail gun while distracted is definitely unsafe. Workplace injuries in construction have fallen consistently for decades though so I can't imagine this is a new generalizable safety concern among young people.
- andirk 4y agoThat could work but what is the main dance move on Tiktok Classic? With current Tiktok, it's that move where it looks like your elbowing people next to you on either side while lip syncing. Silent movies also didn't have actual speech so those could work. Or mute The 3 Stooges and play the voiceover of some current superhero movie. And it has to loop.
