I agree, not all change is progress. The more comfortable we can get, the less resilient we can become. It is very scary to think that our next generation might not have that patience or discipline to handle real life challenges. That is why we need to find a very big balance between technology and lifelong experience before it is too late to do that.
It might already be too late, because even if we start to turn now, the momentum will take decades to shift to something healthy, and by then, the opportunity might be gone.
