- How screen protectors became a part of our lives, and the weird reason some early cathode ray tubes needed them.
- You know something I always kind of wonder to myself? Many phones, generally of the Android variety, often come with very basic screen protectors directly on the screen; why are they not as good as the ones you can buy on Amazon for like $8? Screen protectors have become a big part of people’s lives—you are literally touching them thousands of times a day, possibly more. And yet, when you get the one from the manufacturer, it’s often so weaksauce that you need to buy another one that is going to last more than like two weeks. I guess it’s with this state of affairs in mind that I got curious about screen protectors, where they came from, and whether older types of screen technologies, like cathode ray tubes, needed stuff like this. The answer was literally explosive, or to be more exact, implosive. Today’s Tedium talks screen protectors.
