Summary:
"In the early 1990s, the phrase '
screen
time
' emerged to scare parents about the dangers of too much TV for kids.
Screen
time
was something to fret over, police, and judge in a low-grade moral panic. Now, '
screen
time
' has become a metric not only for good parenting, but for our adult lives as well. There's even an app for it! In the streaming era -- and with streaming made nearly ubiquitous during Covid-19 -- almost every aspect of our day is mediated by these bright surfaces. Whether it was ever the real villain in the first place, or merely a convenient proxy for unaddressed familial, social, and institutional failures,
screen
time
is now all the
time
. 'Avidly Reads
Screen
Time
' is a funny, insightful work of cultural criticism and history about how we define screens, and how they now define us. From 'Mad Men' to 'iCarly,' Vine to FaceTime, binge-watching to doom-scrolling, Phillip Maciak leads us on a sometimes heartwarming, sometimes harrowing tour of the media that brings us together and tears us apart."--Front cover verso.
