Tablet Soap?

Seen on morning commute to work today: Well dressed dude in my car watching a TV show on his iPad or some other tablet (couldn’t tell) with no headphones. Which means the whole car can hear the show. He later decided to catch up with some light reading but left the show on. My guess is he was being considerate to anyone that may have been listening so they could catch the end of the show? I guess we could pretend we're back in the day, listening to a radio soap.
