I wrote a post some years ago about why screens have won over rockets. http://wanderingstan.com/2010-07-27/screens-not-rockets-medi...)

Why are we now more concerned with melding media than melding matter.

I agree with the author that it's about values; now that survival, food, shelter, etc are cheaply met, our reward system has the luxury of indulging in TV watching, candy crush, etc.
