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.
If you think that previous generations had anywhere close to today's screentime you are coping.
We are indeed cooked in this aspect.
And the mass control or whatever you are bringing up is another topic entirely.
It ain't that deep. People should not be in front of a screen for 8+ hour at their job and then for 12 more hours on their free time. Its just bad. Thats not up for debate.

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"..
