I don't watch tv a few yards away, but point taken people have different lifestyles and needs. I should have rephrased the context to be my surprise that the big phones came to totally dominate the market, when it makes them harder to handle and more cumbersome to keep on your person. I didn't think consuming content would completely trump that, not with the simultaneous rise of tablets. Choice is good.

Go to any public transport commuter city and the buses and trains are rammed with people watching tv in their phones

Your TV isn’t at least 9 feet away from you?

Only if I'm at someone else's place. I watch on a monitor two feet away.

You do realize how atypical that is, don’t you?

What? Watching things on your computer is atypical? These days, I'd argue owning a TV is atypical.

96% of households in the US own a TV

Are we really going to do the whole Slashdot meme “Do people still watch TV? I haven’t owned a TV in 10 years”.
