What do normies do with computers, tablets, and phones exactly?
Like, they're always on the phones. Sometimes they're watching a video on their phone, and the TV is playing at the same time. What are they even looking at?
I know what candy crush and youtube are. Is that it? They're always on their phones.
Of course I have a smart phone, tablet, laptop, and gaming PC, but all that stuff looks boring.
To be honest, except for posting stuff and looking up information I don't really use computers anymore.
The anxiety caused by their being so vulnerable and basically being devices spying on me has caused me to do almost nothing on computers.
It's strange because in my mind it's important to have all these devices, but I don't actually do anything with them.

Man I f'd up the formatting, sorry. I'm too lazy to redo it though. Another thing to mention is AI chatbots, from personal experience I've seen older people tend to chat a lot with AI about mundane things, and since they take their responses as the absolure truth you get a lof of older adults believing the weirdest things.
What do normies even do on phones? I cannot imagine much to do on a phone, computer is always the better option when available.

Computer users can chose not to have ads, there you have a reason to use computer only.
I always have to think about a scene of the german gameshow "Manhunt" on youtube, where participants where given a smartphone for tracking, with google maps and some notepad app allowed, everything else was blocked, but there was a scene where a guy smuggled himself in a hotel lobby to sleep there, but whenever he was awake he was on his phone, but later in a behind the scenes he said all he did there was switching between the two allowed apps on the phone. So I think as long as a phoner can press a button that does something, it can keep him entertained for hours, even if it does nothing.

Its primarily the below two;
-Television emulation
-Radio emulation
As most normal people (unfortunatley) do not care about software licensing, freedom of expression, truth-seeking and so on, the internet at its core is of little to no utility for them, i also make an exception about this for the dyslexic, as even today, the predomination of 'online stuff' is, at its core, textual
It was known in the past for the average usenetter to hate mainstream media, and seek to populate the wired with something unique and interesting, but nowadays, especially post-lockdown, the bar has been lowered through the floor both the infastructure and the KIND of personality welcomed online. With most ignorant or simply disinterested by clandestine information (true) e-communities, most 'alt'tech and so forth, what is left for them on here?
Well its only taking the technological amusement they WOULD'VE been consuming with to begin with (and without the desire to go online to sensation-seek), but with 20 rube-goldberg abstraction layers before, with your astroturfed netflix shows and so on
