It’s because back then there was a thing called boredom which led to creativity and generally happier lives. Now, it’s nearly impossible to be bored, and people are much less apt to learn a new thing or go on an adventure because theyre obsessed with their phones. Institute a no phone or no internet rule on weekends, I do this and it’s great!

I think you are deeply mistaken in believing that people can be on their phones and not be bored at the same time.
But it’s a satisfying boredom, weirdly enough
Nope. Me doomscrolling for hours is very much not satisfying at all. It’s just boredom (combined with existential dread and overstimulation).
That’s what I mean. It’s boring but you can do it for hours. Most other boring things people will just quit and do something else.
Exactly. If you’re sitting there with no phone, you’re more apt to pick up a book or go somewhere than just doomscroll
