Imagine talking with someone face to face and there's a giant tv right behind you pumping inflammatory news headlines. That's a present day situation but I never seen anyone shaking their fist at tvs screens in cafes. | ||

The square in the middle of Woolwich, London has a giant screen showing BBC News all day. No idea who decided to put that there but it gives the place a strong 1984 feel. | ||

Probably because many of us avoid such cafes? The "wall plastered with TVs bar" seems to be much less popular here and those places are aggressively unpleasant for me. | ||

Oof, I hate that. Luckily most cafes over here don't have TVs, or even clocks, for exactly that reason. I've been in countries where TVs in cafes are more common, and I don't know how you put up with it. | ||

Obviously, they don't have the gesture bracelet for the TVs yet. | ||
