I mean if you read books, cook, and exercise, you're ahead of the game so perhaps the "spend less time online" advice doesn't apply to you. The average American doesn't do any of those things very often. They are however increasingly online all the time. Personally I don't think online time is something that needs to be limited but social media and news consumption, absolutely. I also think socializing online is a poor substitute for doing it face-to-face.
