I'm with you on video consumption woes. I finally -- FINALLY -- watched Citizen Kane. It's been on my watchlist for thirty years, and I said now is the time.
Took me four sittings to get through it. And not because it's bad! It's great. But between exhaustion and distraction I fell asleep twice and thought about my phone a million times more.
The irony -- if that's even what it is -- is in the film the characters play piano and sing together and tear paper into shapes and quietly sit miserable by themselves. They depict the lost art of boredom.
I wonder how Education Drones will explain boredom to future children. "Before Pleasure Pods, the madmen of the past only had handheld computers to keep aberrant thoughts at bay. We're much luckier today."
"If you're doing well, shareholders are a curse. You can't come back to them with the same pile of diamonds. You have to explain your plan for a second pile. And may Adam Smith preserve you if you can't find it." So well-put.

Also I love that kind of keyboard. (Envious)
I didn't see the appeal at first, but it's really grown on me. Little things make a difference at our depth of keyboard time.
