I think it's more that there's so many distractions now that a lot of people spend the whole day doing practically nothing.

Maybe in the past, it would take a whole night to do taxes. Today it would still take the whole night to do taxes, but three quarters of that time is going down the rabbit hole of googling tax exemptions, etc.
