This is why I'm wondering how we'll end up viewing it. It's sort of in-between,

I don't think it's quite right to say youngster _choose_ screens. It was chosen for them, _pretty much_ the same way the draft was. 

Yes, there are/were ways to fight and opt out... but they're hard and difficult and impose all sorts of social costs to you. 

*Omission/commission errors really collapse to the same thing*

Exogenous vs endogenous. When something happens to people, we interpret it differently than when they choose to do something.

Boomers chose to be massive degenerates when they were young, which we view as self-imposed setbacks and not obstacles that needed to be overcome. They didn't choose to be drafted into a stupid war, so we do view that as an obstacle that had to be overcome.

Similarly, young people are choosing to be on their screens rather than being together in person (endogenous) but they aren't choosing rampant inflation (exogenous).
