I and pretty much everyone I know has repeatedly mentioned how difficult of a time they're having reading books, code (software eng. friends), or even watching the first half of a movie without feeling the need to open their phones and scrolling Instagram.

my spouse and I (30s) had no problem sitting through the new Spider-Man movie without opening up our phones.

How many of these people before simply paused the movie to get a snack or converse a bit?
