I think that's one of the problems with modern society and the internet (which was supposed to make our lives easier) and has contributed a great deal to the mess.
Kids would read books, watch Saturday morning cartoons, go out and play, join clubs, build models, have penpals and other such things. The same went for the grown ups. They'd get together on weekends, go fishing, flying, hiking, gem and mineral prospecting, travel, bridge clubs, build models and all sorts of things.
Now days, everyone gets on social media and clicks "like" and express total amazement and jealousy for the few people who actually do venture out and do things (of course, posting it on the internet). Kids sit glued to the computer or TV playing Xbox or Playstation games, go on vacation so they can have an exotic place to sit and text and in general, do nothing except text and click "like" on someone's social media post who actually went and did something.
And then everyone is up in arms because kids are all fat and in poor health and try and blame poor diet, fast food, bad parenting, GMO conspiracies, chemtrails or aliens instead of looking at the actual problem. If you sit on your ass all day long, your body will reflect that...
