I suppose when you live in a space station, even the view of the earth and galaxies from there becomes routine after a time and you look for other things to do.
We adults create the devices, we make apps targeted at kids, we market them to kids, we pressure parents to buy them … and then we get indignant when the kids use them.
But yes, my generation grew up on the boob tube, and if I remember correctly, my parents were shocked that we spent so much time (or tried to) in front of it.

Why stare at a small screen, when you can stare at a big screen?

My son and daughter-in-law let the grandkids bring tablets to the table at meal time. I just bite my tongue and keep my mouth shut.
