We can waste many hours in our smart phones because our lives today are too comfortable. So comfortable that people don't even realise that.
Doing dishes without a dish washer takes at least one hour every day. Doing laundry without a washing machine takes a day. Do you know how much time it takes to bath two kids in a house without hot water supply? I can go on.
Shopping, cleaning, washing, going to work, traveling anywhere for any reason - every bloody action took A LOT OF TIME. You give smartphones to people 50-100 years ago and they won't have time to use them.
The poorest people in advanced countries today literally live like kings of the olden days.
