Historically, he is correct. It is easy to find people that were against TVs, Cars, Trains, Electric Cars. Those people were not entirely wrong with their logic. Trains and cars did make it much easier for scammers to come into a town and then leave quickly.

However, historically speaking new technology can be extremely disruptive in the short-term as society figures out the new norms, and the power-structures are disrupted and then re-equilibrate. Concretely, it's probably true that children born with this technology will have adapted to many of the negative (and positive) aspects of it. But the current generation of elites, politicians, and voters might have a harder time adapting.
