screengaze

To look at somebody/something for a long time on a screen of a smartphone, computer, television, or device, that displays pictures, information, digital files, and digital re-representations of the physical world. Typically, an individual looks at the screen for a prolonged amount of time, which can lead to a trance-like state, either because one is very interested or surprised about what is displayed, or because the act of looking at the screen directs one to think of something else.
The phenomenology of screengazing was first observed following the advent of the television screen and reached ubiquity after the invention of smartphones.

A commonly used office device for your computer screen. Initially used for "privacy". Now more commonly used to goof off at work without having to worry as much about shoulder surfers or your boss checking what your working on.
My job has been so stressful lately, but now that I got this new privacy-screen I don't have to 'look' busy all day. It's great!
