Seems like the article is somewhat reluctant to call out the obvious reason(s). It does state that the amount to time spent behind a screen is "hotly debated" as a cause.
The graphics appear to flow right in line with the increased sense of entitlement due to further indoctrination, general societal decadence and very much the time spent behind a screen looking at everyone's "wonderful" lives on social media. Falling into the trap of viewing people's FakeBook posts, etc. and feeling like their lives are great, mine sucks in addition to people literally getting pissed and/or depressed based of how many people "like" their pics ir status is ludicrous. Go even further with the "gimme it it's mine" mentality, everyone gets a trophy and as high school/college age arrives, in my humble opinion, they start to see that not everyone wins. Once they figure that out and learn they're going to have to interact with people and use their $100k dollar basket weaving degree to work at the dollar store, depression gets even worse.
We need to roll the clock back about 70 years or so to a time where people interacted on a personal and human level.

It will get worse not better (Mt 24:12).

They used to teach Latin and world history in High School. Now a high school grad is lucky if they can read at a 6th grade level.
