Where Did the ESCAPE Button Go?

Interesting! In thinking about it, I realize that there was a time when I had a number of "alternatives" that I could engage in that would let me escape my world for a while. Now it seems to accompany me where ever I go and what ever I do. Why am I not able to escape for even a few minutes. Where are the alternatives? Where are the distractions? Need to think about this some more.
