Mobile phone/TV

I got this picture of a mobile phone which also shows TV from this wired.com collection of photos. Am I breaking any rules showing it here?

Speculation. The last fifty years or so (together with about the next ten) will go down in history as the Indoors Years, when you had to choose between doing things in the Real World and watching TV, and when most people chose TV, leaving the streets free to be terrorised by those wretched untermenchen who didn't have homes and who didn't watch TV all evening, thus causing crime temporailty to rocket and civilisation temporarily to collapse.

Predicted 21st century sport. Driving and watching TV at the same time. A complicated obstacle course to drive through without knocking into things - then questions about what was on TV.
