Thanks for sharing. Really nice.

Now since it was 1958 and we are 50 years later, we may try to give an approximate answer to that.

Did computers (or augmented capacity to proceess data) make the life of kids better or not? (at least those fortunate to grow in developed societies)

I'd argue yes. Especially for communications, although there are dangers too: one communicates remotely without really having personal strong bonds.
