Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 2307469, member: 591"] This is driven by the complaint in a thread below about ESPN conducting interviews during game action and doing "split-screen" stuff, but my complaint is more general: - Not everyone here may agree with me, but, in general, I like to read my news (sports and otherwise). A supplemental video (especially relating to sports and things like weather) is nice - but why, oh why, do on-line news and sports pages believe that I want the "news" via video? Often, when confronted with a video and no story, I'll skip the video and google the topic in search of the info. - So, my great-nephew was here for a week, 13 heading into 8th grade. It must be a millennial thing, but with few exceptions he (binge) watched an old TV series on his phone for the entire week. Headphones on, covering one ear, so he could converse, watch programs he wanted to watch on real TV (while watching the phone at the same time), even eating meals. How do they do it???? - And finally, to the ESPN comments - against the back-drop of my first 2 points, is it any wonder that they want to "cram" whatever they can in simultaneously? I'm only 60 and feel like "media" has passed me by. Yeah, I read the BY, some other message boards, Facebook, certainly spend more time on my phone and surfing than I would have ever predicted - but, so help me, I just refuse to be consumed by it.
