The average person spends 6 hours and 40 minutes a day on screens. Between social media, TV and movies, work and more, it's safe to say we're all attached to our screens. In 2026, we've noticed the rise of analog activities — which can include hobbies, crafts and other activities that are completely screen-free. This week at NBC Select, we’re highlighting some of our favorite analog activities — photography, diamond painting, puzzle books and more. If you’re ready to throw your phone in the trash, invest in a Brick and join us as we head offline like it’s 1999.
