I'm a parent of 2 boys. I keep them away from the computer. I try to learn low tech stuff all the time and I try to have the boys learn this as well. Things like brewing and engine repair, home repairs, carpentry. My oldest wants a telescope (he's 7). So we've been studying the constellations at night. Whatever you do just be there with your kids so they can learn and enjoy the processes. Kids needs to learn critical thinking and self-determination. Technology will always advance quicker than you can teach but no matter how fast it goes people always seem to pick it up even without a technology background.
