As a kid, I never saw the point in learning handwriting because the computer could do it so much faster and better.

Today's kids are going to be so different compared to anyone who comes before, they'll be asking "why learn anything when we have Google, Bing, and Wolfram Alpha?"

Giving computers to young children is one thing. I would think twice about giving them unrestricted internet however. I kinda like the lego raspberry computer idea combined with the 'showing CLI first' idea someone had here (obviously not for children below the age of 7 or so).
