When television was introduced it was called the "idiot's lantern."

Raymond Chandler, back in 1950, wrote: "And as for the commercials – well, I understand that the concoction of these is a business in itself, a business that makes prostitution or the drug traffic seem quite respectable."

Smartphones are just the latest manifestation.
