Is technology overused?

The Alliance for Childhood (http://allianceforchildhood.org/index.htm) makes the point that kids need play and other childhood activity more than they need computers and other technology. What do you think? Have we overdone things technologically?

Do you use technology?

So tell us - do you use technology in your classroom? If you do, tell us how you use it - instruction, communication, presentation? I know that most classrooms are wired, but do you have the equipment you need to really capitalize on technology?
