I neither fear, nor despise.
There are screens everywhere nowadays, where there used to be none 100 years ago. All that eye strain will take its toll. I just hope I'm not blind at the age of 80 or anything.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
Pfft, the future is so bright I don't need my eyes to see it.

I think this is a legitimate question  but whatevs

Scratch the "more quickly" part, how about the overall population with eye problems? Will that increase to a certain point, or continue to grow?

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
I spend the majority of my day looking at all sorts of screens and my vision has been steadily improving for some bizarre reason. Probably has nothing to do with the screens, but hey, whatever I'm doing is working.

when you're 80 blindness and other eyesight problems will probably be very easy to fix

going blind as a result of eye strain isn't a genetic trait

besides--i would imagine that the amount of strain your eyes can take is genetic
though i could be wrong there

my point is that we would adapt--that's my hypothesis

Yeah, but, it would have literally no impact on the amount of blind people relative to the population. All it would do is decrease the absolute number of blind people by decreasing the total population.

I imagine the amount of strain your eye can take is a genetic factor, but so negligible as to be not worth considering.

Eye strain may give you headaches and trouble focusing, but no one has ever gone blind from it alone.

i'd say it's about as negligible as any fear that future generations are honestly going to go blind because there are "screens everywhere"

Sick humour, no respect.
Yeah. More screens means easier access to porn. More porn means more masturbating. More masturbating means higher rates of blindness

No.

1- Displays aren't as harmful as they used to be
2- You don't go blind from looking at a screen all day
3- Medical advancement

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
but im wearing an accessory that grants me immunity to blind

so fuck you
