Figuratively speaking, imagine if Newton was too busy watching cat videos on TikTok to contemplate why an apple falls from a tree...

Excellent points! As a 79 year-old with only a flip phone (which I only use when I absolutely need to) I still spend half my time in front of screens. What to do with the other half? Aerobic exercise (with NO electronic distractions), chatting with my wife, reading, working puzzles, listening to music especially the 19th century sort that allows my mind to wander, meditating, napping, chores around the house, petting the cat, looking out the window... and that lifestyle has left me creative to a fault and generally satisfied. So go thou and do likewise!
