An anecdotal comment on screens: When I got my first flat-screen HD TV, and watched actual HD content on it, I had a visceral reaction to the higher resolution. I could remember seeing the lines/pores on people's faces, and it was honestly jarring. I almost plugged my old tube TV back in.

I've done some work with the Amish, and the mind-blown can't-look-away effect of a low quality digital picture frame on fully grown adults raised some red flags for me. Brains are very good at adapting to their surroundings. I'm not convinced of the legitimacy of a moral panic, but something about screens is very unnatural.
