Interesting. Once you have a cellphone to amuse yourself, perpetuating the species is just too much bother?

Phone + PC/TV probably takes an hour or two of people their day on average. If they didn't have access to it I assume they'd be meeting up with other people out of boredom and that'd lead to sex, doesn't seem too strange.
I suspect on average it's much higher than an hour or two.
The average American watches 4 to 4.5 hours of TV per day. [1]

Half of people watch more.

Or you spend all your time on your phone and can't understand why you're just not getting ahead in life.
Maybe people don't meet in person any more because they call each other = less teen pregnancy instincts.
