What's needed here is sympathy. They could as well be depressed, addicted or have any other problem they're trying to run away from. Or just a broken sleep cycle. Bottom line is, if you're bitter about it, you're unlikely to change anything and only get to accumulate resentment.

Agree hard with this. For one, we all know how addictive screens are. Many people commenting here are part of the firms that design/support these addiction machines.

What I would want older generations to understand is that modern lifestyle is more and more of an attention trap that expresses itself both mentally and physically.

Sympathy is good, empathy is better.
