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.

Screengayver 

An age old office prank that never gets old. Or if it does, only to the receiver.

Usually in hectic office environments an unsuspecting poor sap will leave his computer unlocked for a just a few precious minutes. Within this time the more saavy co-worker has Carte Blanche access to google up a pic of a hot pair of gay men embracing in a clutch of passion. Or in extreme cases a well placed schlong dangling pic right on his desktop.

The coup de grace of this prank is to conceal the background with a few legitimate applications such as Word, Excel or Outlook email.

Upon returning to his workstation he may work hours before minimizing or locking his workstation down (much too late) to be shocked to see a pink pile of man junk proliferate his screen. This works exceptionally well when female hetero passers by notice the commotion from his cube.
William: "Well, I'm done for the day have a good weekend"... "WHAT THE FU(*K!"

Ted: "LOL"

Betty: "How many times are you going to give him a Screengayver Ted?" "LOL"
