On the flip side of that, one can argue that the new technology is taken away our youth social skills and ability to interact face to face. Great example is when you have a group of people standing around with their faces buried in their phones texting each other. Hello, your right there, how about looking them in the face and talking to them, but oh, right secrets.
I tried to get my daughter interested, she was briefly, then discovered her talent to sketch and draw, so she is focused on that, which I am supporting her all the way, she is very good at it. My son OTOH, I have no idea what he is doing, he keeps trying to emulate his sister instead of finding his own thing. Hoping he gets away from that and discovers his passion.
