When I was a kid we didn't have a TV, but that doesn't mean we spent all day talking.

My dad spent his time reading the newspaper or Dick Francis murder mysteries, my mom spent her time either on the phone talking to people or laying cards. (Like Windows Solitaire but with actual cards).

When I wasn't fighting with my sisters I spent my time reading Donald Duck comics or playing Lego on my own.

Sure, we can pretend that we spent so much quality time with another all the time before screens came along, I'm just not sure it's actually true.
