I don't know how you can look at a graph of how many teenagers work, drive, and go out that suddenly declines after 2008 and not mention the major economic recession at the time. While I agree that there are technological changes and purely social changes that have happened, I think there's more to the economic causes of this issue that aren't usually examined by this type of commentator.
Cause capitalism can never be at fault. We must continue to grind and support our overlords. The reasons for societal collapse could never be attributed to capital - for capital is what will save us all and lead us all to nirvana. Capital is holy!
