> You didn't have a TV in your pocket when you were 10
Actually I did. It was a birthday gift from Radio Shack back in the late 90s. I was totally that nerd kid, but yes it was a literal TV.
> Everyone else didn't and you weren't pressured by peers to have it
Everyone had gameboys though. I found Pokemon a bit boring so I was often excluded.
> The TV didn't track you and basically try to abuse you secretly
The adults had cell phones and/or PDAs with abusive bosses on the other end. Soon enough us kids had them too. Helicopter parenting found a new gear and sexting and group text bullying became a thing. That was around 20 years ago.
