Perhaps more time is spent driving kids to activities, but a counterpoint is that kids have never had more video games or TV than the present.

Before kids were staying up late playing video games, they were staying up late with a comic book. I think there’s a fallacy in this notion that technology has changed how much time is spent by a child being productive or not. The medium might have changed, but I expect the mean amount of time goofing off (be it book, radio, tv, video game, or internet) to be constant throughout generations of children and teenagers.
