Yes, popular parochialism is another common theme discussed in tech critique. Each generation believes its technology to be an exceptional pinnacle, disconnected from its antecedents. It starts to see the world in no other terms. What you're saying feels like a reformulation of McLuhan's "the medium is the message". People who see their world only through the TV or smartphone screen can no longer "see" the technology that undergirds it. Their world gets smaller, into a Plato's cave if you like.
