I think there is always a generational change - mobile phones went mainstream in the late 1990's but the generation that grew up then takes them for granted. Similarly I think the current generation of kids is born digital - they own phones, have computers in every school, read books and submit assignments online, and play games across 5 different platforms. And because of that, they see the environment differently almost as a toy they can hack.
Programming - if seen as digital puzzle solving and fun creative activity - is a good thing for kids. However, I am aware that having young kids get too much screen time is bad - so I absolutely encourage my 11yo to sketch out problems, read more books, play board games and do all the things that build problem solving muscles without having to be online always.
