She Retired Happy Then The Days Disappeared

Margaret retired three years ago. On paper, everything was fine. Pension, paid-off house, husband, grandchildren. Then last Tuesday she opened her laptop at 8:47 in the morning to check the weather — and looked up at 1:14 in the afternoon, with no memory of where the four and a half hours had gone. This is happening, right now, to millions of newly retired people. Business Insider reported in June 2026 that retirees are spending more than four hours a day on their devices. YouTube and TV consumption among the newly retired has nearly doubled since 2023. And 40% of retirees say they feel physically uncomfortable when their phone or laptop isn't within reach.
