In my experience the older styles media were consumed in "down time" even if it was for a minute or two at work. People (in my memory, I'm 50+yo) did more real life things. There were malls, movie theaters, skating rings, box stores. These were a herald of things to come on the internet.

This was also the last days of interesting Popular Mechanics and Scientific American.

There was also more standing around literally doing nothing and waiting.
