On the other hand, the smartphone has enhanced the culture of watching TV and movies at home. It is acceptable etiquette in my house for any viewer to pause the show and read out the results of a web search about the writer, director, plot, history, concepts, etc. related to the flick at hand.
- kelnos 2y agoOof, you consider that an enhancement? If anyone paused something we were watching to read something off a web page, I'd lose my patience real fast. My partner is often on her phone intermittently while we're watching something together, and even that bothers me. It seems quite sad to me that people can't put their phones down for even a half hour to watch an episode of a sitcom.
- auggierose 2y agoLol. The argument used to be that it is quite sad that people waste half an hour of their lives watching a sitcom.
- nunodonato 2y agoI'm with you on that one. Totally bothers me when watching a movie and my wife replies to Whatsapp messages
- gcanyon 2y agoAre you sure that's acceptable? I do that all the time, but I think the right word for how my wife feels about it is "tolerable," not "acceptable" :-)
