It was at this time that novels had grown in popularity and availability. There were so many youngsters of that time reading novels, that the elders had begun to be really concerned that the younger generation was spending way too much time reading. The phenomenon was then called "reading rage" , "reading mania" and "reading lust".
Sounds familiar? Can you see how this phenomenon is similar to the one we have now? With children and technology?
Personally I think it's alright as long as it is used productively. I don't think the blame goes to the object but more on HOW it is used.
It only gets unproductive when nothing is being learnt or understood in the process.
