Yet older kids are not adults, they are teens with lots of free time yet responsibilities that effect their future. If they’ve been groomed to have short attention spans and not curious by screens that play endless video and ads, it seems like a problem in the making.

I don't disagree with that. I am however wondering what is meant by "The older the kid gets the more problematic it all becomes". The grooming of short attention spans seems more of a problem for younger, more malleable brains than it is for kids who are probably a bit more reasonable as they get older.
