Unfortunately the author has a few paragraphs that miss the mark and strike me as coming from more of a centrist or right-wing "kids these days are too soft" which feels very off-base and disconnected from the issue.

Welcome to The Atlantic. It's telling they think all these issues are because of phones and not other aspects of society or something like the looming, ever present threat of climate change.

It's basically The Economist lite at this point.
