I doubt it will happen, if human beings were such rational creatures, we would have all quit watching TV and playing video games (I have, but I'm sure I'm the minority, and I think the ratio of people who end up using those vintage phones you mention will be much lower than those who don't watch TV, because of network effect). I have seen plenty of super addictive technologies die off if the value it provides is pure entertainment, but I have never seen any technology that provides clear benefit go away just because it has side effects--people who realize the side effect and want to do something about it will find a way to discipline themselves, but most people are not disciplined enough to be able to do that.
