While it does make our life easier, machines also brought our down our physical abilities. In modern countries, people are usually not as strong, have less stamina, and their immune system is less potent.

We also see a decrease in the ability to focus with people using a lot devices with screens.

I'm quite concerned of what AI is doing to our brain skills: pattern recognition, memory, data processing and summary... Al that stuff, left untrained, could lead to regression.

We already see a lot of people going to the gym, doing artificial exercice to keep their body in shape. And now we got those popular games to "train your mind" on phones and consoles.

It's a issue IMO, but not an easily solved one. Who don't want to use innovations bringing confort, productivity and increased lifespan ?

A lot of those problems are created by technology because it's designed (as in, on purpose) to create them! There are strong commercial interests to keep you glued to various devices with screens on them. If we can somehow overcome that problem, I'm confident that the distraction/productivity loss issue will simply disappear.

I don't believe that, because it involves people selling those device to be very smart, good planers, and organized, which is not something I noticed.

I think it's just phenomenan emerging from basic human behavior: greed, lazyness, confort seeking, system automation, ingenuity, etc.

The problem is, what I described doesn't require coordination! It's in the best short-term interest of each company involved to glue you to their product. Therefore, it's the default outcome. Coordination is required to achieve something else.
