Is the younger generation getting too spoiled?

I'm sure all of us, as parents, do not mean to spoil and coddle our children. Especially in today's day and age, where technology is so prevalent in today's society, within the premises of any Kopitiam or coffee shop we can easily spot children being more obsessed with their cartoons or games on their iPad or smartphone rather than engaging in conversation with their family members.

I'm sure as parents we would all shake our heads in dismay at the state of our child's generation, lamenting that we would never make that same mistake of giving the child a device which would shorten their attention spans, or distract them from family bonding time. Also I'm sure that there are times where we feel obligated to use the device as a means to buy some "quiet time" for ourselves but in actual fact are we really doing our children a favour? or merely finding the easy way out as parents?
