I will admit that I spend way too much time staring at screens...mostly for work...but I waste a lot of downtime on them too.You think it is just the youth? Or is it most of America, regardless of age?
The "idiot box" used to be relegated to the living room...now we carry it around with us in our pocket.
But I can also leave my house without it (and do that on purpose a lot of the time) and I can survive without it for long periods of time.
Then again, I will also do the unthinkable and read a book from time to time.
