Tbf I'm talking about 20 years ago, so I have no idea what they do nowadays (I only fly easyJet within Europe), regardless I'd just use my phone and BT headphones whether it was a short haul Europe flight or a long haul anywhere else flight

There's more people alive now than has died previously. I'm no statistician, but those numbers alone surely mean the smartest has to be now no? Can someone smarter than me chime in on this?
