Sure, it wasn't updated real time and accessible on a device that fits in your pocket.

I just find it dumb when the gap in generations and technology skew towards people being vastly different like they were just naturally go-getters/smarter/etc.

If everyone had iPhones 70 years ago, lots of people would have been glued to them 70 years ago. And if kids didn't have smartphones these days, they wouldn't just be sitting around staring at the wall.

Some people want to make it some divisive thing that it's not. Social media is rotting a lot of people's brains for sure and devices distract some people from being productive, but that spans across generations.
