To play the devil's advocate, isn't technological "addiction" the inevitable future, so why even fight it? The more engaging technology becomes, the more people will naturally(and perhaps rightfully) choose it over reality. Isn't trying to curb the addiction merely an attempt to postpone the future?

A distinction without a difference. Some experiences promote better outcomes than others. As a society we promote those that are demonstrably better vs those that are not. Why should this new terrain - digital - be exempt?

We don't use that logic with other addictive behaviors, like tobacco, gambling or opioids. "They are inevitably going to take over, so why fight it?"
