Distraction is key.

A day without distraction is like Earth without the sun. Without the sun, there'd be no sunrises or sunsets. There would be no green or brown; no red or blue. Stars wouldn't be something to marvel. They'd always be there... they might even hide. The world would have more electric light, more gas powered equipment... so, the stars would hide. We wouldn't notice when one burned out. No one would look up. A day without distraction is a day without you; uselss, somber, and unimportant.
