    To be entirely fair, those things wouldn’t be impacting anyone’s health if the news never reached them (through their iphones). Both points are technically true. My ass completely missed all those civil wars when I was growing up because I was playing neopets.

      Last I checked the iPhone didn’t exist in 1929 when the economy collapsed and sent huge swaths of the population into poverty. It still had an impact even without a single iPhone to tell people the market crashed.
