Their TV screens keep getting smaller as their parents’ screens grow ever larger. (Class of 2017, #12)

This item posits a generational gap—old people like big TVs, but young people like little TVs!—that is imaginary.

Smaller TV screens, on iPads, iPods, smartphones and the like, are popular—for younger people and older people. And so are big screen TVs.

The Class of 2017’s parents are buying bigger TVs because parents are usually the members of the family who buy family TVs. (They probably bought a lot of those small screens their kids use as well.)

It’s a problem when the self-designated experts in identifying generational divides don’t understand the difference between a generation gap and gap between what expenses parents and their children pay for.
