I don't know, but Japan just finally got rid of its last laws requiring floppy disks for certain processes a few years back, so it's not out of the realm of possibility

Second, "not having constant input" can be viewed as a skill. Meditation is a way that I have practiced that skill (I'm quite out of practice these days).
I recommend doing guided meditation. It's not the thing for everyone, but it helps some.
