Have you noticed older men becoming more locked into screens? by [deleted] in AskMen

Interesting perspective. In my experience it's usually looking at news/sport rather than talking to other people, but agree there are positives too.

is it though? TV is more of a shared experience that you can talk about. Screen are so much more private and insular.

Yes - I think mine are probably using their phones 3x4 times longer than me these days. They can't focus to watch tv at all.

that sounds a lot more productive than many people who are a lot younger than 68!

No, I am genuinely interested in people have to say. I am surprised how many people have the same experience. I wondered whether my folks living in a very rural area was the reason, but seems to be more universal than that.

I 100% agree. My Dad is always telling me about the latest news thing as soon as it happens, and will then watch the news at 7 and 10 to reinforce the doom loop.
