I do place limits on the use of the tech things in our home but I've found that they can be a great motivator and learning tool. For example, when my youngest was six she really wanted a Nintendo DS but her reading skills weren't very strong. I promised that if she read every night with me and worked hard I would ask Santa to bring one for Christmas. She not only earned her prize but is now a great reader and typically reads 200-300+ page books in her spare time, she just turned 8. So, yes, I bribed her and it all turned out great.
