Reply to comment by odebruku in Why did they get rid of iPhone SE Gen1 dimensions? by [deleted]

Yea.. hope it comes back. I've noticed businesses are pitching tvs to sell "bigger", "better" too more than ever. I was looking for a 42" recently and it was in the smallest size category (an obvious subconscious hint to buy bigger). Part of it is the engagement of course, which is almost hypnotic with digital displays and therefore good for business.

Lock those eyes on the screen.. right. Another mosquito flies into the light.

Yeah 42 in tv is for when your doing a #2 in the bathroom now. My 55in feels small now so will throw that in the bedroom and get a projector at some point.

Anyway small phones are gone sadly. I wanted one myself as a travel phone

lol, good point. Have you noticed the larger screens are literally harder to pull your eyes away from (involuntarily)? Have such a gravity to them.

I'm assuming because they stimulate the visual cortex so much (and that's such a large part of your brain, from what I understand). Totally guessing.

Would have to acknowledge that in earlier times stimulating the cortex like that would almost certainly involve a lot of physical activity (you, in motion). Not the case anymore with these massive digital displays.. all those lights dancing around.

I think it’s about immersion. Recreating or bettering cinema immersion in the comfort of your own home that you don’t have to dress up in. Just sit there in your jimmyjams and let go of the world outside
