People often don't know what's good and what's bad for them - ex. people have also enthusiastically adopted cigarettes.

That presumes that technology is consciously adopted; I'd argue that we're also at the mercy of how our minds react to certain technologies.

People aren't always glued to their smartphones by choice, or because they were less happy before.

I guess we gained some, and lost some, as the saying goes.
