I think the"electronic playground" kids have these days does hurt their overall learning of nature and natural things.Another thing is location, if kids are growing up in cities then it will diminish their 'hands on training' so to speak.Books can only be an intro to the world, it's the hands on thing that really teaches people.I grew up in the country and can tell you what kind of Duck is flying over by looking, what kind of fish are in the lakes and rivers and what they eat, none of that knowledge came from books, it came from growing up in the country.
