> these kids can avoid needing to learn a lot about how a computer actually works

That sounds like progress. Don't worry, plenty of kids will still be interested in how computers work at lower levels.

Problem is that plenty of those kids will wont have the opportunity to explore that interest since they wont have a computer to access. Even poor homes used to have a computer at home since it was such a useful device, but then they switched to smartphones and having a computer is becoming a class issue again.

For those that are interested, PCs are much more affordable these days.
