I was among the last to learn drafting and design with both CAD and a drafting table. I have a set of Koh-i-noor pens for different line weights, and I know how to use templates, triangles, and compass to draw up assembly diagrams and engineering drawings. I like CAD, but I would argue something is missing when you forget ink on vellum.
I grew up without cable TV and video game consoles. I had LEGO and played outside a lot. I dug in the dirt with Tonka construction trucks, rode my bike, built forts in the woods with sticks at my friend's place, and went sledding in winter. Despite undiagnosed chronic illness, I built some physical skills one can't get from screens. Now, it seems like the world is hostile to this kind of childhood unless you still live somewhere rural.
