Smartphones are the new 'first screen,' says Mat Honan

gl_honan_tube_fIn a Wired Magazine feature, Mat Honan argues that TV and smartphones have swapped positions of dominance: our mobiles are now our primary screen, not TV. "Television has talked to us for decades, but it never listened. While we all watched events like the moon landing at the same time, we did so in pockets of isolation. It's why 'second screen' is such a colossal misnomer; the phone is the first screen—always with us and always on. And it has made our big screens more vital." [pic: Tavis Coburn]
