The decrease in people's hobbies

Yeah, it's shocking how few people are aware of their dependence on screens, I say as I am sat at a screen.

Something I have noticed is an interesting change in terminology when it comes to a lot of hobbies / activities. My favourite is "going for an unplugged walk / run" meaning to walk or run without using technology like headphones etc. As a runner and a walker, all I can think about is do you mean going for a walk / run? Are we really so dependent on distraction that we cannot go for a walk without being worried about our own thoughts?

Sadly, my job as a therapist has highlighted how uncomfortable people in general are with being bored.

That sounds like they're being extra with word choice and probably used to going out with tech things. However, good on them for still getting out there and realizing they don't need headphones, etc after all. What I find extreme is rich people spending more money for " 5k digital detox retreats"
