To waste time on a digital device by scrolling, swiping, tapping, or zoning out—especially instead of doing something more useful. The digital equivalent of vegetating.
I was supposed to finish my taxes, but I digitated on YouTube for two hours.
My teenager digitates for hours every evening—phone in hand, brain in neutral.
Don't just sit there digitating. Come help me move this lumber.
