Glad to see I'm not the one that sees the similarity in "zapping" or channel surfing to what people do nowadays with those shorts...

I remember my brother loving to do channel surfing in the 80s when we were young. I've always hated it! maybe that's why I cannot stand the current Tiktok media format (so sad that Youtube is pushing more and more the same format).

Also, remember when telephones started and people who took vertical video where seen as sinners? How times change!

I still consider them as inconsiderate. You can watch a horizontal video on every screen with more, or equal detail. That's not true for vertical videos.

But at least, we could experience first hand that laziness beats thoughtfulness, when people are allowed to.
