I'm afraid it goes even further back than video games. The same behavior can be seen in those who were left to be raised by their TV sets and radios. The coping mechanism of "just hit the reset" is merely the latest variation of "just change the channel" or "just turn the dial". It's all part of the same drone programming system. The only real change over time is how much the system has saturated everyday life. In the past it was much easier to get away from it all. Now it's practically impossible.
