Welcome to Psychology.SE. I am curious as to why you ask about this. Is this a hypothetical situation or are you asking about a potential mental health disorder someone you know may be suffering from? Have you done any reading online to try and find an answer? If so, what is the closest you have found?

Thanks. I have seen some young kids of this generation are a days suffering in this. But my purpose is not to treat them or provide any solution. But to be aware what causes the disorder. The closest one I've found is ADD but the attention disorder is directly not that what these kids are suffering. It's also lack of seriousness and willingness too.

Add a bit detail, I'm an app developer. We specially develop free educational apps for kids and adolescent. In a recent survey, we found some of our user downloaded and found it useful but don't have any progress. That makes me curious.

There is something called the [scarcity heuristic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarcity_(social_psychology)), in which people place lower value on something that is readily available (not scarce), relative to something that isn't.  This for example leads to buying things and not necessarily using them (eg, impulse buying, hoarding, collections, fashion fads, etc).
