People are always doing two things at once these days. When you have a smart phone with all that access to information and ability to instantly text a friend, you're going to use it all the time. Someone should do a movie where you have to interact with your phone at the same time. The movie goers are doing it anyway. Why not integrate it into the experience? It's creeping into gaming too with the Wii-U's game pad alongside your TV and what Microsoft is planning with integrating the Surface tablet with Xbox One. (I forget the name of the game that will let one person use a tablet while the other plays with the controller in the same game. It was mentioned on the Wired's Gamelife Podcast last week).
