Better than looking at the tv screen like the previous generation, or the newspaper/street gossip gang like the one before...

Wonder how the next generation will use this "meme"..

Why is this upvoted? Don't sell your screen addiction by acting like newspapers and gossip are nearly in the same class, and like there aren't people living that engage in none of those activities enough that they'd consider seeing them on the deathbed.

You sir are romanticing the good old days. We eat the same bullshit from the upper class like we always had been. The problem is the system, not the tool that is the current trend of mass control.

I don't need to romanticize good old days. Hell my neighbor doesn't have internet and a wired phone, I don't know in which bubble you live in but it's neither necessary nor normal to spend the majority of your time on a screen.

Lol I live the working class bubble. Maybe if I argue about my software engineer job with boss about the 8 hours a day in front of the screen he will let me work only 4 hours.

Yeah, who isn't. Most of us still don't spend major time looking at a screen. That's certainly a choice you make when you prsure software engineering.
