Bang!
You're dead on. Anyone that's been around long enough knows, and can look at themselves as the example, we've all got way more shit to do online these days. 15 years ago, not many of us had
anything to do online. Today, we are all so hooked into these fucking machines, there's no way out even if we wanted to get out.
Try backing technology (and the Internet in general) out of your life today and you will be seen as either:
1. a crazy tree-hugging hippie going off to live in the forest
2. Someone trying to disappear from society for dubious reasons
3. an uneducated barbarian that should be mopping bathrooms at the airport
My entire fucking life is locked inside these machines. Everything from, all my photos, taxes, every document I've ever had since birth, business, personal correspondence, addresses, phone numbers,... and that's all before we even get to the Internet!
Banking, investing, entertainment, continuing education, vacation planning, travel arrangements, social interactions.... you fucking name it. And I've never even used Facebook or Twitter or any of that shit. I don't even know what those sites look like. But if my machines were suddenly destroyed in a fire or something, I would be quite crippled... in the real world.
The simple truth is just as you said.... people simply have way more shit goin' on these days online than jerking to porn. I think, the act of "being online" has become very stressful for a lot of people as well because of this. Personally, I don't watch porn. But if I was going to, I would want to be chilled the fuck out when I do, like lounging on the sofa watching it on one of the MANY channels available on tv. Not sitting in a fucking office chair with a monitor in my face.
But that's just me.
