The future is cozier than you can imagine!

The idea of hanging out in bed with any kind of lit-up screen makes my eyes hurt - my family's always been sticklers for strict separation, and I've only gotten stricter as I've gotten older. But that doesn't stop other people! I think the first time I saw someone curling up in bed with a laptop was 2000 or so, but I'm sure some 90s business travelers were doing it earlier.

The practice of having a TV in the bedroom (though not on the bed itself) (unless it's one of those tiny portable TVs with a handle on top maybe) is a little older than the Apple IIe, I think, as a widespread phenomenon.
