[QUOTE="Janx, post: 5592612, member: 8835"] Obviously, I've offended you. I'm sorry. I am not literally talking about you or your mom. I am talking about rich people fly first class and they OWN smart devices right NOW. I am not specifically a germ-ophobe. I simply recognize that children are plague rats and airlines are the primary vector for germs to cross continents. The spread of technology increases because the demographic ages. Tomorow, as a grandparent you WILL own a tablet and use facebook. You will refuse to use the new fangled injection chip that all the kids are doing these days. As to the usability of smartphones to watch movies? That depends on the user. I watched Flight 666 on my iPhone. The guy next to me watched someting with gangsters and naked women on his phone. College kids too cheap to pay for cable have been pirating bad copies of shows and movies to watch in a tiny window on their PC for years. As to who matters and who doesn't? Bushmen don't buy BMW's, so they don't matter to a BMW salesman. That doesn't mean they don't matter as human beings. But they don't matter in the context of the topic. And the topic is flying on airplanes and having the extra money to spend on renting a tablet to watch a movie. Are there people interested in such? Sure. Are they a large enough market to justify putting tablets on planes? I think that demographic will continue to shrink because the probability of them OWNING a tablet will increase. [/QUOTE]
