[WS:] It looks like another 'solomonic wisdom' of oh so fucking brave digital age going down the drain.

And while we are at this, here is another 'pedestrian' truth (you do not have to listen, Ian) - the time spent on managing electronic gizmos that keep the wiz-kids connected to fifty seven 'cool' places at the same time is the time not spent at honing the social skills of interacting with other people, which according to psychology 101 is a far greater predictor of success than IQ. But hey, it is better to be fucked up than uncool in this new brave world.
