Assuming you mean Neil Postman?
And yeah, I am also wanting to get print magazine subscriptions. Luckily I already live in a neighborhood with a very 1950s vibe where I know the baker, the coffee guy, the butcher, sandwich shop guy etc.
I just want to remove my compulsive internet usage. Even if I'm reading The New Yorker, it's still because I've defaulted to consuming media on the internet in an empty moment.

Even if I'm reading The New Yorker, it's still because I've defaulted to consuming media on the internet in an empty moment. That's the skill of allowing yourself to be bored. Another thing you can learn, with enough effort. Making your browser much less accessible on your phone helps a lot. Either lock the use to 30m per day with digital wellbeing settings, or just make it a chore to get to it (always force close, put it a screen away / in a folder / in another profile).
