Color: A Screen Addiction Theory

Let's travel back in time to 1950.

The world at large is functionally pretty similar. There are cars, furniture, televisions, magazines, and many other ordinary objects. The media we consume is entertaining, enlightening, depressing, enraging, and boring, and we can experience it via a screen or paper. If we stay here long enough, we'd eventually acclimate to the stylistic differences, but we'd also notice that it feels quite different (putting aside economic or political differences).

Now, let's fast forward back to today. We (still) have cars, furniture, televisions, magazines, and many other ordinary objects. Likewise, the media we consume is (still) entertaining, enlightening, depressing, enraging, and boring, and we can also experience it via a screen or paper. But again, it feels different.

I'm sure there are myriad reasons it feels so different, and each one can be assessed in its own dissertation, but I want to focus on one topic—color.
