     The article you're quoting is a good example of how   
     someone can twist a research paper to push his own   
     agenda.   
      
     If you read the paper's summary and look at the graphs,   
     you'll see that in 2016, people under 40 suddenly started   
     showing more trouble focusing/remembering than the rest of   
     the population. That's pretty much undisputed.   
      
     The reasons for that, though, aren't clear. The authors of the   
     study say that themselves. But this guy, acts like the cause   
     has already been proven - and that's where he sneaks in his   
     own assumptions, pretending they're facts and that the study's   
     authors are just too slow or too polite to say them out loud.   
      
     He's writing for people who can't stand not having an answer   
     and want everything wrapped up neatly, especially if it   
     confirms the picture of the world they already have.   
      
     Since the split very clearly occurs in 2016 and a kind of   
     acceleration for all age groups happened the year before,   
     we got to ask what happened specifically in 2015 and 2016:   
     The only thing I can see clearly now is Pokemon Go in 2016.
