Yeah, I came here to say same/related; technology did not create these problems. We created them. Our society, our social norms, and the very hard to avoid evolutionary programmed behaviours; "display" (for mate), "herding" and "parenting/family bonding".
Still, none of that is an excuse for making bad choices. It's hard but people can and should fight their instincts (esp when they are being exploited by others).
At least for "adults", children haven't necessarily developed enough to make choices. [With all our(USA) "think of the children", helicopter parenting, and overprotection of kids; I have no idea why parents accept advertising targeted to kids and teens? The illogic and dual standards are absolutely baffling.]
