Spending many hours daily looking at screens feels like a foregone conclusion. The new challenge is paring down what fills them.
It was also one of four screens I was looking at the moment I clicked on it. Yes, on election night 2024, like so many others, I had CNN on, a laptop open, and a phone in my hand. This is not new; lots of people watch TV with a second device nearby. What became clear as the results started pouring in was how much space on each of those screens was devoted to some smaller, use-specific screen.
Not that I want to go back to the days of just watching one thing on TV or reading one book, absent other things to distract me, but perhaps it’s time we started treating the space on screens like it holds actual value. This column is named The Monitor because it’s about the things we watch, device agnostic, but it’s also about what we pay attention to, what we observe. Maybe reducing the number of things one pays attention to provides a way to observe more.
