Screen Age 

A more current and specific denotation of the Digital Age where the use of personal computers has shifted to a prevalence of mobile touch-screen & flat screen devices.

The shift signifies a greater acceptance of digital media & communication and the desire to have access to the internet & one's personal media collection while on the go.

Screen-voyeurist 

Screen-voyeurist – a person actively practicing to observe personal life of people through spying on their screens in public transport, office or at home.

When traveling in public transport, observer’s view unwittingly falls on the screens with the personal life inside out. “My sweet cat, I’m coming”, the owner of a smartphone is typing a message, someone next to her is sending a personal SMS, somebody on one side is “liking”, on the other — is mindlessly poking in Secret. The same picture takes place in the office: person unwillingly becomes an observer of personal life of virtually every screen; someone’s Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat etc. and personal photos catch the eye.
– Hey! Are you a spy or what?
– Huh?!
– You're watching what I'm doing on my iPhone all the time!
– Sorry... Can't do anything with it. View is unwittingly falling there – I'm a screen-voyeurist.

Screen read 

On Whatsapp, When you read messages on your Home Screen as they come in instead of going into the chat where chatmates can see if you read their messages or not.
You: Yo David, how did you know Andrew wanted backend access to the website? I didn’t see you read the chat.

David: I didn’t go into the chat but I did a screen read so I knew what was happening without going into the chat.

screen rape

When somebodyy looks at your screen while playing a multiplayer videogame on the same TV. It is used mostly when you see that somebody is in your general area with your peripheral vision and you decide to go kill them by looking at their screen to see where they are. Looking at their controler also gives you the advantage of when they are going to attack. Screen rapers are often caught when your running up behiend someone and they turn around for no reason and kill you unexpectedly and use they crappy excuse that they saw you on radar.
