I remember decades ago, on family trips, where part of the entertainment, as such, was seeing different parts for the country, seeing mountains, farmland, etc which we didn’t normally see.
And what’s with this idea that people have to be constantly entertained while traveling?
Some people have DVD players and other entertainment in their cars, to keep their children occupied on even short trips running errands and such.
I just don’t get it.
Yeah, kids these days, they will never know the joy of playing games like “Punch Buggy”.

“Some people”? More like LOTS and LOTS of people. It’s a huge mass market thing. Built in media players and screens, etc. A standard option in many minivans and SUVs. Lots of retrofit kits out there, too.
During the 1990s, I had a Nissan Quest that had a TV and VCR in the back. I don’t think I ever had it turned on.
