That watching-TV-on-your-iPad creates a hell of a lot of high paying jobs for Americans. There is a semiconductor industry that built the chips. There is a consumer devices industry that built the iPad. There is an internet industry providing the backbone that these devices communicate through. There is a wireless telecom industry that built communication interface between the device and the internet. And finally there is a power utility industry that supplies the electricity for all of the above. Oh and I shouldn't forget the media industry that supplied the content for the device. Oh and the software industry that supplied the interface between the device and the media content.
Yeah, what a waste. Millions of employees. Billions, maybe trillions, in economic activity.
I'm just sayin.
