This resonates with me a lot. I've noticed the same thing happen with me. Being chronically online isn't actually that much fun -- and it does stuff to your mind you can't even notice.

It reminds me of this quote:

"Sleep deprived people don't know they are sleep deprived" -- Matthew Walker

Which I will modify to say

"Attention deprived people don't know they are attention deprived"

It's really hard to know how deprived you are until you take a lot of time away.
