Give it 10 or so years and The Thing(tm) will cycle around to the next thing.
Previously it was gaming (namely consoles), before that was TV, before that was comic books, and so on. Every generation has its "Spends Too Much Time on The Thing(tm)" stereotype.
- sojournerc 2y agoI don't see this trend as generational though. There are just as many boomers as zoomers glued to their phones.

I feel like we spend way more time on our phones that what we (or they) used to do with consoles, TV, comic books and so on.

- csomar 2y agoThe difference is that you can take your phone with you but the same can't be true for the TV or the gaming console. That's a big factor. I suspect more people would have bought Apple Vision if it was cheaper/more affordable. I suspect a lot more people would have bought it if it was 1/2 weight at $1000 and didn't require that dangling battery. The future will be people with their phones hooked to their faces.
