I think you are right; I grew up in the end 70s/begin 80s with most of my time (from a young age) and most my friends their time tinkering with electronics and computers ; it made people happy. Programming and soldering made us always have something to do, always keeping our minds busy and creative. I think the internet added pressure in every way to that; everything is a performance, everything is compared and everything can have a longlasting effect. I cannot imagine this kind of connectivity being good for people (young or old) who are not immune to the possible effects. And children can hardly be expected to be immune yet and they might never be.
