It's the modern equivalent because it's the new way in which older people gripe about younger people. Kids and lawns still exist, but people my parents' age don't yell about them anymore. For one the kids are too busy playing video games, and for another they don't want to be a cliche. This is the new cliche ("the kids and their Tweeting and and Facebooking") as anyone younger who spends any time with baby boomers will attest to. It's valueless because it doesn't say anything everyone doesn't already know. (Really, watching dvds while driving is bad?) It's not necessarily incorrect. It's just silly.
