When a person is deluged with information, they create filters to help them ingest it. We can't be sure that the filters the newer generations are developing are intelligent ones, unfortunately.
I think that the availability of information is much more exciting to the older generations, in the same way that a new hearing aid is exciting to someone with hearing problems. Things that you grow up with are things that you take for granted.
That said, it's time to answer the questions:
1) It's hard to make the most of something you take for granted.
and
2) A person will find any excuse to make use of something they find exciting. I'll bet you that a lot of parents are trying to use the information that's out there to their advantage.
Edit: I'm not very coherent, am I?
