I think that qualifies as "seeking it actively" though.



Implicitly, maybe. However, being disconnected is usually just a perk of getting away.

The problem with getting disconnected is that we don’t want to do it, we are afraid of missing out and we usually invent other activities to rationalize it.

In a sense it’s a bit like enjoying the radio in traffic, taking the long ride home after work. This is not something that you would rationally do unless you have to, but there are some benefits that people are still seeking from it.
