Horse Eye Cover, Pigeonhole, Or the Narrow Smart Phone

Growing up I used to hear someone told me that when you cover the eyes of the horses, they concentrate better, and will keep going straight until their reign guides them otherwise.
Are we being conditioned to use certain apps, trained to watch articles on a proportion narrower than usual letter paper? Is the younger generation being conditioned to concentrate on whatever the entertainment, the trends, the newest game or movie coming out with more zealous expectation than those of the 3 generations earlier?
In other words, are we more modernly enslaved?
Do we look at the flamboyant sky pictures when we are outside under the real sky?
Did you notice the corporate media almost use the same visual designs? the tones and feel of the background? If people are so afraid of the one world government, aren't we first pay attention to what we watch the most, the "smart" phone?
This is no conspiracy. This is an observation and theorizing.
