My personal solution was to just drop computers/tech as an major interest, and find some other hobby. I found language learning to be a good alternative, because:

1. You may be able to use it professionally.

2. It might be useful when traveling.

3. You can meet interesting people from various parts of the world and very often for free (language exchanges (online or not), playing video games, etc.).

4. You are able to absorb other people’s massive culture, that might not be popular in your part of the world.

5. You might impress some people with language skills, if you care about that.

6. It is good for your brain.

7. It is fun.
