We are living in the Golden Age of entertainment. Or is it the Gilded Age?

Yet, if you are like most people, you spend 20 minutes scrolling through Netflix just to give up and watch The Office for the tenth time. You have access to the entire history of cinema in your pocket, yet you feel like there is "nothing on."

Entertainment has shifted from a campfire (everyone gathered around one light) to a dark room (everyone staring at their own individual screens).
