Atari had a video music "visualizer" device back in the late 1970s. Designed by one of the developers of the Pong game. One of if not the first consumer product of its kind.
One exception is the movie "Over The Edge" with a cast of all unknown first time acting high school kids. It worked well. The movie made Matt Dillon a star. I'm surprised more directors don't take a chance like that.

I could see conservatives blaming Obamaphones - making them accessible to all classes.
I wonder how the Holden Caulfield's, Johnny Stabler's or the Over The Edge kids would have done with smartphones.

That was 41 years ago. Over the Edge, Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller were more common than ET.
