It's surprising how often I actually don't, though. Rarely am I going anywhere I actually don't know how to go. Rarely do I actually need to take a photo of something (though to be fair, I've never really been into photography; this would be different for people who are). I prefer quiet to music (although again, admittedly, I know I'm not the norm here). And not being able to search the answer to any old thing whenever I want? Turns out I forget most of those things by the time I get to a computer, so I guess they weren't terribly important. I make more of a point of trying to learn things now.
I don't distract myself as much as I used to. I feel like I'm actually more present when I'm present because I don't have anywhere else to be.
YMMV, but there's no perfect solution. Everything has tradeoffs. You just have to choose which set you care about most.
