I love your in a way philosophical argument, many people unfortunately don't share the same perspective as you do, or rather they aren't overly conscious of their actions or the effects of their actions to their general well being and the quality of their lives in general. And for those who are somewhat conscious of the effects of their actions they choose numbing away the pain of say loneliness using technology rather than sacrifice and put in the effort in overcoming the pain, escapism and repression are rather more appealing to many.
Results being many of cease living and just exist, creating a new normality, a normality of leading despondent lives full of suffering, anguish and pain, a never ending loop, while life is full of so much more...
