Because it depicts teenagers, yeah. It would have been fairer if it showed a dozen people with a more representative spread of ages. It would still skew young though.
I am Gen X, a computer scientist and often use my phone while walking.
Have often jumped on the wrong train because of my lack of attention. Not life threatening but results in extending my one hour journey by 30 minutes. But that kind of error did also happen occasionally pre-phone so at least now I have entertainment for that extra half hour :)

In Sydney recently it was raining all week but two days of sunshine were forecast a WEEK in advance. Not that a one week forecast is usually right. All you need is 24 hours and that is very accurate.

Calling Murdoch “shadow director” is not “alarmist”. The reasons for this description of him is based on alarming facts. What would you call him based on these facts?
The example I gave from Insiders is what is alarmist, using lies. As is the example of ABC pretending Albo hijacked the DV rally whereas the full video, which ABC deliberately cropped, shows the truth.
I don’t recall such blatantly dishonest reporting from ABC before Murdoch infiltrated.
Asked about the incident at the daily Chinese foreign ministry press conference, spokesperson Lin Jian said: “What truly happened was, an Australian military aircraft deliberately flew within close range of China’s airspace in a provocative move that endangered China’s maritime and air security in the name of enforcing UN Security Council resolutions.”
Shanghai Daily columnist Andy Boreham pointed out… “the area they claim the incident happened is within China’s EEZ… Innocent passage is allowed but military aircraft do NOT constitute 'innocent passage”
Kind of like the many Chinese military incursions in the airspace of the Taiwanese EEZ, eh Andy?
In my quote the claim was that Australia was there enforcing the UN resolution. That resolution was made a long time ago, well before China took sides in the Ukraine war. Too late to veto the resolution now.
PS Admittedly my quote is not from a credible source. I haven’t time to test its veracity.
