I bet everybody blames video games.

They're likely a symptom more than a cause, but technologization in general is probably at the root of the problem.

The concept of "teenager" didn't really exist until the Industrial Revolution, when the greater need for training and education sort of pushed "adulthood" back (and concomitantly increased overall lifespan). The Technological Revolution basically did the same thing again, making higher education more of a necessity and increasing lifespan even more, and likely played a role in the last generation or so tending to be "childish" much later into life.

There are probably other factors - like most social issues, it's a lot more complicated than a single root cause being responsible for everything.
