For most applications computers do not make activities higher quality - they make them faster. And they need software to do this. History has shown that really good novel software is extremely hard to come by. Before being productive on a computer a person has to learn to think and how to be creative. And after that one needs good software. Sure, 1 in a 1000 kids is a born natural programmer and given a computer will make programming his/hers lifelong passion. For the rest of the crafts - unless exceptional applications are available like Photoshop and (Cintiq/Surface) for art, Scratch for learning programming, etc - traditional analogue learning materials may be superior.
