This seems like a fairly accurate portrait of the coming generation, especially the bottom fifty percent. However, Point Three seems unlikely to occur for several reasons. There are too many alphas being raised outside of digital culture altogether for the Mass Man to be reborm. The advent of widespread homeschooling, combined with the formation of parallel societies will lead to a generation pillarized along the degree of communication technology deemed acceptable.

I think you'll see a split--alphas from families who took the screens away early enough will essentially recapitulate their parents 2000's Bush era Millennial lifestyles just as their parents did with their boomer grandparents, with all the attending faults. Alphas who have not been away from the Ipad for over 35 minutes continuously in their lives will agglomerate into the kind of ageless, shapeless, spark-of-lifeless biomass, akin to how most women of heavy Mayan descent seen working at fast food restaurants are today (think the Stevie Jankowski's wife variety).
