My day job is as a technology director for a private pk-8 school. We believe that technology that actively engages a child in learning or creating is a good thing. Of course, some balance is required, but kids are actually better about that than you'd expect. I've seen a lot of interesting results over the last twenty years, mostly very positive.
With my own kids (now 9 and 12), I attribute their early reading skills (pk-2) to the combination of access to a laptop with appropriate software and my wife and I reading to them. They still read and write (and now record) a lot.
