Happy is a strange term.

I know a couple people that are deeply unhappy with their lives, but they are happily using some of the mentioned games and media to distract themselves from that fact all day. Then they go to bed and can't sleep, because they are no longer distracted from it.

They're very happy to have those distractions, though. Is that good for long term happiness? Probably not.
