Humanity has historically fled from working on farms (note the % of farm
workers over the last 300 years). Maybe before writing this sentence, question
your pastoralist presumptions.

I will also remark, without proof, that retreating from the contemporary world
gives your children a tailwind that they will need to overcome. The notion of
teaching computers to children is a notion, at its core, of guiding children
into engagement with the contemporary, preparing them to deliver their full
potential within the world we live in.

Assumptions that "nature is better", or "sweaty work is more moral than brain
work", or "face to face is better than distance" are founded upon certain
assumptions about the world that are not per se true. Just because one might
_feel_ better, or _feel_ more trusting, in certain environments does not make
what you feel to be rational or correct. Much like "wellness", juice cleanses,
or antivaxxing.

And, as counterpoint to the inevitable - it's _also_ true that f2p mobile
games and video short video recommendation systems are finely tuned addiction
engines that prey upon children - the mental & physical health issues are not
to be ignored. The author isn't going into those issues. And, limiting screen
time is a very common practice in recognition of that reality.

I'm replying to you as someone whose children attend coder dojo twice a week,
and they both have gtx 1070s despite being 7 and 9 respectively, this is
relevant as evidence that I truly believe giving my children the best leg up
in our society, requires them to have a a deep understanding of computers from
a young age.

Face to face is better than distance. To condense fact from the vapor of
nuance requires you to physically be in the same room with someone. We are
creatures who can transmit a tremendous amount of information in everything
from subtle facial expression to smell. All of that goes out the window over
remote work.

Nature is not better, but it is important. I spent every waking moment from
the time I got a computer at 19 until I turned 40 doing nothing but learning
about computers, be it networking, programming, or system administration and
