I think the best thing is a mix. I'm not sure that's a good idea. Practically any job, even the most entry level type, requires some tech know-how these days. And kids can learn a lot using these machines, video games as well as computers. But we've always had board games and stuffed animals and bicycles too.
Balance is the key.
I've noticed over the years that when kids were hanging out, they've chosen, on their own, to turn off the N64 and play a board game or work on a jigsaw puzzle or play tag outside or grab toys that do absolutely nothing on their own and create a game. No, not a video game. But they probably should be a part of it these days. I'm all for a mix too. That's how I was brought up.
