I often think about things like this. Where we'd be or what we'd do without so much media distraction, like if I survived an apocalypse level event or something. After some moderate looting or whatever, I'd most likely be in a library learning how to mill wheat or stitch a wound, things like that. Can't help but think that people would be forced to learn more if there's less to do.

Turn off your media for a month and find out🙂 Without so much noise it's easier to fine tune "purpose." 😉

I do take myself out of the world a few times a year, not for a month or anything like that but a week in the mountains of The Lake District or The Pennines, no phone, just maybe a guitar and a book. You end up doing the occasional thing just to pass the time, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that a few of mankind's advancements and achievements came about through a mild boredom of some sort. 'There's nothing to do, I think I'll pass some time by mapping the stars or tying different types of knots and see how they hold.'
