It is a 'novelty experience'. I can see its use for train
time-tables and a few things I guess. But I doubt that most sites
are the sort that people would be bothered with on the train or
while waiting for the bus. I imagine human's are getting worse
eyesight over time these days, just as males are getting lower
sperm counts. This trend, if it is one, is sure to help the
process along.

(Travis! Boji! I am saying squinting at tiny screens will
accelerate poor eyesight, not lower your sperm count. Get a grip
will you please! Sorry Karl, I have taken these lads under my
wing and have to steer them at various stages.)
