> I just spend more time reading the newspaper
There so many great things you can do when being offline. But it's definitely not reading a physical newspaper in 2017. This doesn't make sense (for me at least) and this is not about liking or hating technology. It's like using a phone booth for making phone calls. A newspaper is just an inferior medium for that use case.
The actual message of your post is good though.
Edit: Why the downvotes?

Your comment is a non sequitur.
