Ah, I've felt similar things. Meditation helps you snap out of the autopilot that the screens seem to induce.

I like to inhale and recite (with the voice in my head) "Full focus..." exhale... "breath 1"... and count. Then keep counting. By the time you get to 100, you'll be in a different place. It's difficult to keep mindlessly staring at screens when you are forced back into your body like this.

This is great, thanks. The screens are definitely the antithesis of presence /meditation.
