I'll bet kids can find other neat things to do. The world is different not
better/worse.
I didn't write any software when I was a kid. Assembling a robot and
programming it seems like it would be fun.

I don't have any troubles getting transistors in TO-92 packages.
I think the emphasis will change from building X from scratch to building
what it takes to interface something to sensors and control gizmos.
