Digitally distracted or evolutionary adaptation

Hello again, just love these articles which conclude how evil a technology must be because it is having an impact on the next generation,especially with limited data. This type of thinking has plagued us since the invention of writing.
Movies, were evil, TV was a vast wasteland,now digital distraction will be the new illness, don't forget video games.
I think it's time to get real studies done about the impact of these new behaviors rather than speculate with well written anecdotes based in flimsy data.
Could be the young star of this piece grows up to be the next Spielberg or Scorsese, and his distraction is his passion.
