There is a video from 1987 at a Disney world and I was blown away at how random people all looked at each other and engaged.

My dad is about 60 and grew up in the 80s. I asked him how it was that everyone was so engaged and present, now a days everyone is hesitant to interact even if they’re not on their phones. He responded immediately: “other people were your source of entertainment, you looked at them because that is where the interesting stuff will happen.”
Taking screens away is great. I’ve seen kids be totally not present when surrounded by people and they’re disadvantaged. It’s as if they have autism but they’re just always wasting YouTube at the dinner table. As adults, the girl you’re simping to or the streamer you watch and think is your friend aren’t as real, interesting, and rewarding as the relationships with people around you.
