I have a 17-year-old son and, maybe it's just me, but I don't see any difference between him and his friends than between me and my friends when I was his age. Technology isn't making us dumber or giving us ADD or whatever crazy fear people want to invent. Texting isn't lessening human interaction. It's just a new tool for interaction to occur. People probably said the telephone was going to be our undoing 100 years ago.
Again, to the OP, your interest in film and how it acts as a reflection of life just puts you in the company of other film nerds. I'm sure the young people you see in the theater watching with less discriminating eyes have their own passions or will develop them later in life. I'm sure some of them will one day watch films the same way you do.
