The term "AFK" (Away From sKreen) reflects their decision to step away from contemporary conveniences.

AFK normalcy

The situation where people who have excessive screen time per day will get an eye, whilst AFK moments are "normalized" (i.e. happens more frequently and feels less painful). For example, in K-12 school campuses where smartphones must be collected during school hours, which is akcually meant to create conducive learning environments and not to "condition" students for unavoidable AFK moments in the foreseeable future.

At school, we have to hand in our phones, which makes AFK normalcy a real thing—everyone's so used to stepping away from their screens that it hardly bothers us anymore!

AFK

"AFK" stands for "Away From Keyboard". It is commonly used in online multiplayer games and chat platforms to let others know that the person is not currently at their computer or device and will not be able to respond to messages or participate in the game. It is used as a way to let others know that the person will be temporarily unavailable, and it's a way to inform others that the person is not purposely ignoring them.

Joe: Hey Bob, where did you go? I need your help with this dungeon boss.
Bob: Oh sorry, I had to step away for a moment. I'll be AFK for a few minutes.
Joe: OK, no problem. Let me know when you're back.
Bob: Will do.
