I dunno -- part of the problem might be that we older people have notions of how childhood should be. Entire industries are built around it. And we eagerly declare an emergency when kids decide to stray from the notional path. But maybe a little experience will enlighten (maybe.) I recall some 30-odd years ago how much more fun D&D would be if all of the paper, die-rolling, etc. were automated. This was sometime between the Atari 2600 and Commodore 64. I got my wish, obviously, and then some. And it seemed old-fashioned ways of gaming would forever be consigned to history's dustbin. Only it didn't happen that way. Dice and tabletops are still around, maybe more popular than in my day. So I for one will not surrender to despair, or go blue-nose against modern tech "for the children." Maybe we should just go with the flow.
