I'm not sure that's true. There's a lot of young people (particularly boys) who sit home at their parents and do nothing but play video games and never go out:

I'm not going to go deeper in the topic as it has been discussed to death in many places, but I do believe that there's a metric ton of young people who are disengaged from society.
