What did people used to do while watching TV before smartphones?
Food. Read TV guide. Study. Write letters. Cook. Sex. Sleep. Relax. The real question is, what did people do on the toilet before smartphones?
Pet the cats on your lap of course.
Check their Napster download progress?
Paid attention to what we were watching thereby not missing important visual messages and have to ask everyone later whats going on
When I was about 10 or 11 I watched intently until there was a sex scene when I suddenly got really interested in my Panini sticker album.
Read the Listener.
Did a lot of food prep for preserves pickles etc.
if you were my dad, you just talked loudly over the top whilst everyone glared at you
My homework. Mum used to do those 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles.
Read books. Crosswords. Jigsaw puzzles. Plenty :)
Crosswords mostly. Much the same post smartphones, except its kenkens. Still print them and do them with a pen. Its better.
Hah! My 21yo daughter is the only one in the room NOT on her phone
