The problem is that kids today don't think of a computer as a "magical box that does awesome stuff". Nowadays, computers are just tools. They're not special; they're everywhere, and they can be used to do boring stuff, or useful stuff, but they're definitely not regarded as "magical", any more than a car is, or a TV. This is probably a depressing thought to those of us who remember a different time, but it was inevitable.
