 Hi Dear ones, 

What does "this" in the following paragraph refer to?

        Technology is shaping tomorrow’s society by conquering today’s teenagers. Nowadays, teens seem incapable of having a quality face-to-face conversation that lasts more than 2 minutes. Experts attribute this to the lack of meaningful interaction and social habits, which are a direct consequence of modern technology. Basically, people have the need to be connected to each other 24 hours a day, 7 days a week but never in person.
       Loads of thanks in advance.
