Survey finds the only people watching television news are in nursing homes and rehabs.
Recreational Use...?

Boomers? Seriously? Walk in to any restaurant and look whose digitally disconnected from each other...it ain’t the Boomers. I cringe when I see a family sitting at a table in a restaurant and both parents and the children area all hunched over on their phones scrolling endlessly...at least Boomers are speaking to each other, albeit loudly as they not hear as well as they used to :)
I guess they’re just now catching up with the younger generations.
What else should they be doing?
Smoking pot?
I can quit anytime i want!!!!!!!!!! and i don’t want to!!!!!!! but i could !!!!!!!
And besides, quitting is for quitters, and I’m no quitter!!!!!
They’re clearly addicted to Facebook. It’s become the cringiest of the cringe.
This thread is making me laugh. For some reason.
The only thing I do on my smartphone is play BeJeweled, and only in medical waiting rooms before a visit or blood draw.
Today, I saw a young woman texting on her phone as she was riding down the street on a bicycle. Hopelessly addicted, I’d say.
Would people in the “good old days” waste their time on computers and smart phones, if they had them?
You’re darn tootin! You betcha!
“Survey finds ‘digital addiction’ soaring among Baby Boomers”
Obviously, this doesn’t apply to anyone on THIS site. /s
People actually get upset that I don’t carry my phone around with me...I refuse to be at everybody’s beck and call.
“Dare to be Stupid!”

I’m 78. I hate my iPhone. I use it for calls and the occasional text to reorder my scripts. That’s it. The rest of the time it sits on the table. At my doctor appointments, I like to look around the waiting room to see how many people are on their phones, ignoring the person who accompanied them, and ignoring their children.
My kids are 2 different generations, late millennial and gen-z.
My millennial is glued to his phone and my gen-z makes fun of him. Gen-z don’t appear to be nearly as stuck on their phones as their predecessors. My younger son doesn’t do Facebook, instagram, any of it. Just texts his friends sometimes, but prefers to hang out in person. Makes sense considering he is the generation that was “locked down” during Covid. He prefers face to face interaction.
I’m hoping this is a shift.
Does reading on a Kindle count as screen time? If so, I’m up to several hours a day when I include FR.
As for cell phones, mine spends about 99% of the time turned off in a drawer. I don’t carry it unless I know I’ll have to make or receive calls. No apps for anything.
digital addiction?
I love my fingers and toes - can’t live without them?
I was going to call BS on this story until I realized I spend 6 hours a day on FR.
I embrace my FR demons.
