Pascal said we cannot sit quietly in a room. Did phones prove him right, or change the problem?

Fragment 139 of the Pensées, in the old translation on Project Gutenberg, says that "all the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact": that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber. (Editions number the fragments differently; in Lafuma's it is 136.)

Pascal's point is not that rooms are pleasant. It is that we hunt, gamble and chase office not because we want the hare or the money, but because we want not to think about our condition, and above all about death. Give the hunter the hare in the morning and he would not want it. Diversion is the cure that keeps the disease going.

My first thought was that the phone is simply the perfect diversion, the hare in your pocket. I'm not sure that's right. Pascal's hunters at least went out and did something with other people. What I do on my phone is closer to sitting in the room and not being in it.

So is the phone the fulfilment of Pascal's diagnosis, or a condition he didn't foresee: diversion with no activity in it at all?
