What Hacker News says?
There are rare exceptions. Perhaps HN should do a poll, how many here started out in poverty? > who fill their eyes My presumption is that he is referring to the movement towards digital/virtual consumption and away from physical consumption. The rich and poor entertain themselves in much the same way now, but that doesn't give us a way out of the trend: http://rick.bookstaber.com/2013/11/live-to-eat-eat-to-live.h..…
