| >This all looks like snobbery to me, based on the association of monochrome paper with novels and writing and intellectual pursuits You say it like it is a bad thing. It is associated with novels and writing and intellectual pursuits, because it's less suitable for video/graphics focused social media, videos, and games. >but times have changed and now it's iPhones that are sinful, and monochrome displays are virtuous, apparently. False analogy aside, we already know TVs and then smartphones are addictive in a way older media never were. We already have studies about that, and we already have statistics about the dire consequences on teenagers and adults in many metrics. So, your argument is a little like saying: "In the 1940s and 50s we were scared that weed would fry the brains of young kids, but times have changed and now it's meth that is dangerous, and weed is ok, apparently". Well, meth is hella dangerous, and that's a fact, even if they overblew the danger of weed in the 1940s. |
