The biggest risk of this kind of lifestyle is when parents get older they will be disconnected from their kids. (Kids will do just fine... all they need is some inevitable exposures to technology, albeit with some steeper learning curve...)

I actually know someone (not really my own contact directly) with similar lifestyle and what I have been observing is that she is so isolated from information inlet that she started developing high sense of skepticism as with current standard of technololgy adoptations by her peers, she'd be often last person to know everything. (I guess this also gives plenty of time to think about things, and every little things becomes very very big deal for her, but then that might be just her personality. She does show some hostility to people who are "informed" and they tend to become a target of complaints for just about anything...)
