If you go to playgrounds or parks you'll merely see a teenager who's not looking into their smartphone screen.
Before there were commonly available smartphones, children watched TV all day long. It is safe to assume that there always has been that one thing that supposedly made teenagers "less creative". The predecessor of watching TV was reading books... :-)
The smartphone will, at least, offer creative abilities, e.g. for writing stuff or even publish videos/podcasts. The only thing that has become worse is the abudance of "emojis", gradually replacing actual words. - Have you noticed that you can't "like" an article on DEV, you can only "heart emoji" it?
If they are using their smartphone for good purpose it wouldn't be a problem such as reading some articles, reading some books, watching some good educational YouTube video, but they actually spent their day scrolling newsfeed, laughing at Memes etc. That's what make them less Creative
