So here's the question:

in America we have had 20 years of "Tech Disruption"., making the world a better place and relentless technical innovation, combined with the 'corporization' of America

Has our day to day lives improved?

Do we work less, live healthier, have less stress?

Seems like this (the younger generation) is far worse off then pre-internet connected, smartphone generation

As long as technology keeps being visible I don't think society will be improved by it. The development in the past few years have let me to the conclusion that having technology insisting on being in your face, it will not benefit society. It has to blend into the background and be something you pull out when you need it. Almost anything "big tech" has produced in the past 25 year have pushed technology into the foreground.
