You have actual hobbies and other things to keep you busy. The majority have their phones and a TV.
Not counting the exceptional people here: what do other people you know do in their off time?
Nearly everyone I know personally is either watching TV or at a club and/or posting on FB.

Indeed; most people I know don't do fracking _anything_ but posting on Facebook (using their phone) and watching TV when at home.
With most people I know, their phones are their **** brains. If you smash their phone, you could just as well have smashed their head because they'll be clinically dead. Without their phone, they don't know _anything_ and don't even seem to know how to function without their phone in hand.
Smartphones are a convenience for me these days; I don't have to plan train or bus trips using time table books and a map of the country, I don't have to bring a map when I go to an unfamiliar place, and I can quickly get into contact with people or send an off-hand message or picture if I want to. Even so, I still have time table books, a map, and a paper agenda as a backup.
Without a smartphone, I can lead an actual life. (And my TV is connected to cable, but that's not working... next year I'll have to make a call, if I remember. The reason why I even _HAVE_ cable TV is because it comes with the internet subscription; the only subscription with a decent speed around here.)
