Read books, play videogames, go outside and beat each other with sticks...

Usually I use my phone when I an sitting around waiting for something. In those times, before I had a phone, I would always think about things I could and should make, and the techniques and mechanics of how they would work.

Read books.

Child me draws.
Adult me thinks.

You know why we lack philosophy now

I'm surprised nobody said wank yet.

I read a bunch, and played a lot of video games. I am on the older-end of Gen z, so smartphones only became a thing when I was older, so most of my childhood was spent on computers running a mix of windows 98, Windows XP, and eventually Linux, where I got most of my books and almost all my games.

I read magazines, played videogames, watched TV, went "out and about", browsed the net, etc.

Comic books. And those weird bathroom readers.

I think I used to eat mud when I was bored.

I used to draw anytime there wasn't something to do, which was most of the time. Now it's my job

I watched a lot of TV and browsed the Internet on my desktop. Now I can just do these things while I'm on the go lol although I still do it just the same at home too

I used to buy these little pocket-sized Sudoku books that I'd keep with me, usually play a puzzle or two while commuting to work or something.

Pokemon on Gameboy. Physical books and comics. Sketching.

Shampoo bottles while pooping.

No one has mentioned magazines or newspapers yet.

People use smartphones to pass the time?

Cross-section books.

Listen the ringtones and play games I have on my Nokia cell phone

Dream about the day we could install Windows on our cell phones and carry our computers with us everywhere. And play snake on our dumb phones.

Before smartphones we had snake and Tetris on non smart phones and we liked it. Before that books and news papers were popular.

Having sex. Maybe.

Don't judge me, it's all about statistics.

I had seventh generation game consoles before anyone I knew had a smartphone.
