This isnt much about phones or anything but you brought up a good point, I think that the key to get kids and adults for that matter to read more is to force them to watch T.V. on mute with only subtitles. the next time parents tell their kids to stop watching T.V. and read a book they should just put the subtitles on the T.V. and force their kids to read.

What the hell does being able to swap your favorite television shows between home TiVo unit and your handset have to do with being able to read? Go away.

I think it's a valid criticism.

Television's so bloody important in this country that you simply cannot go anywhere anymore without the possibility of having the most access to it humanly possible. It's no longer just in your television set, it's in your PC, it's in your laptop, it's in your laptop, and now it's in your mobile phone.

And worst of all, what comes on TV these days is pure ****e (American Idol, et. al.) I wouldn't agree with his criticism if there was something worthwhile on American Television.

In many of your post you say "you Americans" could be perceived in the wrong way. Could come off like your not an American, (which is fine) but you group us all in with your statements of " you Americans". We are a prideful nation you might upset some people.

God Bless America and the freedom to watch tv on our cellphones 😁

Yeah, it sort of works out being a German citizen living in the States. "You Americans" is used in the most facetious manner possibly, fyi.

some might not understand the word is spelled FACIST.
America needs a reality Tv show centered around use of the dictionary. "Websters Factor" they can eat pages and stuff for the gross stunt.

Riiiiiiiight. The best cars come out of Detroit. That may have been true in, oh, the 1950's...but since the 70's all we put out is crap. EVERYone knows the best cars come out of Germany. Stop cursing. It's beneath you.
