my entire family is like this. everyone is dual-screened almost all the time.

and they consume mass-market netflix slop films and love them. they tend to hate anything more sophisticated or that requires an attention span as 'boring' or 'weird'. even popular HBO sitcoms/dramas are 'too much' for them.

that said they still go to the movie theater and do engage there without their phones/tablets. but they only go for big budget action films.

I'm unsure if we're heading into idiocracy, or we're just getting old.

perhaps both?
