My point is not about early pre-industrial lifestyles. It's about transitioning away from the current phone/screen/"stare into the blue hue" mentality. But, then again, I'm infamous for my optimism.
You've probably just gotten bored of the screen because it doesn't show you anything interesting anymore. It is too predictably laden with poor content. That is a fixable problem, though.
People have always been nostalgic for a simpler time.
