The article might be a brilliant bit of satire but many young parents can actually relate to it. Children are exposed to interactive toys like tablets at such a young age that traditional toys like a Kaleidoscope barely holds their interest. It is sad to see one of your favourite childhood pastimes get a minute or two of their attention before it is thrown to the attic.
To be fair, even I do not find a Kaleidoscope fascinating anymore. It shows pretty images but so does a music visualiser.

I've mostly put it down to a complete lack of taste, but it's a fairly large gamut of childhood toys there.
