I'm a couple of years short of 40 and feel the same. But these infinite feeds simply didn't exist, or at least weren't nearly as prevalent and well tuned to hijack human psychology, when we were 20.

I remember downloading and picking over the content of newsgroups in my mid-late teens and before that endlessly rolling through different TV stations.

My mind has always craved the distraction of the infinite scroll, it's just modern social media has perfected it.

That's true. To really waste time on the internet, you had to go Googling or hit Slashdot.
