I know kids who's parents kept them away from computers growing up, where as I was allowed to play with computers and broke several by the age of 10.
Now I'm good with computers and have made a good career out of it, those kids who weren't allowed around computers aren't very computer literate, their parents definitely did them a big disservice.
Teach your kids a healthy ballance with new technology, but don't withhold it especially when their peers are all using it.
