suspect that this includes the privilege of growing up with modern 'magical and opaque' technologies.

Please unpack this term. My kids have a Wii; should I be scared?

Scared? Definitely not. However, I think its almost certainly the case that if they could be as motivated to play a musical instrument or paint as they probably are to play the Wii, or at least half as motivated to dos so, that would be a good thing to encourage.
