Computers and social media will be our lead.

The article assumes this is due to spatial mapping of the words on paper vs impermenamce of the words on a screen. I postulate it is more due to the availability of distractions on the screen-based system. This is a huge cause of productivity loss for yours truly, I imagine it is affecting these youths as well.
