“All those whiz-bang graphics, the scrolling bars at the bottom, the shouting announcers, it all gives me a headache and stresses me out. Too much noise!”
The purpose of those graphics and scrolling bars is to brainwash the viewer.
It turns out that our brains turn into “obedience” mode (we are hypnotized) when we see graphics that rapidly reverse direction and strobe light type effects.
Irrational howling at the moon by fellow humans enhances the effect!
I used to like baseball a lot when I was a kid. I'd go to Fenway Park and buy a scorecard and pencil so I could score the game. There was a certain pureness to scoring the game back then as every at-bat had a square box in which you had to fill in the result of every pitch. That took a bit of discipline as you had to pay attention to every pitch.
Scoreboards were primitive back then and did not show instant replays so if you missed something, you had to ask the person next to you what just happened.
Nowadays, kids at games are always restless. They can't sit still for more than an inning and a half without having to get up to use the bathroom, get a soda, a taco, or whatever. Even when they are sitting, they are glued to their cellphones and not really watching the game at all.
