I think what you are describing is witnessing the passage of time and it's affect on what we consider normal. I don't think technology is ruining the world, I think it's ruining the world you thought you would be living it, but in fact it's just pushed past it. When someone invented toliets, do you think everyone thought it was a great idea? I imagine people that lived without them thought they were an unnecessary advancement in technology.

Do you think omnipresent screens, access to media and visual stimuli has a more profound impact on psyche or being able to use toilets? I would think the former has a way larger impact on our brains.

That is an obscure comparison. Toilets fulfilled a very real issue. When did you last get cholera? Most tech does not serve any real utility like this. Beyond generating money through increasingly deceitful means, what does Google do nowadays? The search engine has helped turn the internet into white noise. It has essentially become the obstacle it was designed to bypass. If it wasn't for extremely targeted and manipulative advertising a lot of tech products wouldn't have a place in the world at all.
