Radio and especially TV also had large social effects. People used to play cards, instruments, and other social things before TV. Then household TV watching maxxed at 9 hours/day in 2010 (5hr/d in 1950). (Would like to know the per person watching and these are from Nielsen who would want higher numbers) [1].
Cars help people be social in my world. I would say that riding on a train in your own bubble with strangers is not a social activity, but others would disagree.
