I agree with you that what our culture teach us can't be replaced by the science and technology. Being a mother what I think is that the parents themselves make their kids use to these technologies and that is why they even start finding peace in those things but the truth is that it is not really the peace, it just make them get used to those things like drugs.
I think teaching them from the time when they are kids is what most of the parents are not doing in this time. They feel backward ( sadly ) in telling the culture and traditions which are actually beautiful.
Also as you mentioned, it is most importantly a key reasons why we learn to stay away from stress and also take some good sleep. A healthy sleep cycle is missing from all the current generations kids.
