Labor has changed as well. Computers made things more productive but less movements do to efficiency. Counting bills and coins, sorting them, arranging them to have them the way you like in a drawer/ wallet. Those were fidgets. Doing the math, writing checks/receipts, writing in general, pen goes click click click. Scribble scribble scribble. Need to ask someone something, or confirm information, walk over to desk, locate book, flip flip flip, scan scan scan, confirm, walk walk walk, tell so and so. We walk on average half as much as we did in say the 80s.

Also bright flashing lights and instant dopamine hits have trained us to expect them more often, crave them more often. Our televisions and phones show us content that looks more like casinos because it demands attention.

They are more fun than looping two paper clips through each other and dragging them through like a quick game.
