I suppose the bobbysoxers would have been just as obnoxious, even though they lived in a society far less casual than ours. Jacqueline T.

I've not viewed a film on anything smaller than a laptop, and I feel the destruction of that barrier of discretion between fans and stars has more to do with mores and societal values than technology--but still, the idea of a completely mobile visit with your favorites at your convenience does seem to make the stars available at our beck and call, doesn't it?Jacqueline T.
