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.
