Now it's not just phones. It's video games, it's that new TV show people watch in the background, it's X and Y.

The baseline keeps dropping.

I'm not convinced. I (and I'm sure many others) quit trying to keep up (I think Game of Thrones burned a generation of TV viewers, lol). Video games are cool but the most popular / played ones are 10 years old now, more comfort than trying to keep up.
