Yes it is. In the 80s if you were bored, the solution was to go play with your friends, go run around in the creek, etc. People weren't in better shape because they had ironclad discipline.
Contrast to now: You're bored? Welp just sit right here on your ass and there is a literally bottomless bucket of entertainment that frankly is a lot more immediately satisfying than most of the stuff outside your house. And if you dare venture outside your house? Make sure you bring your parents because, increasingly often in the US, they can get arrested for child endangerment.
