Beware studies which ask the wrong question. These studies seem to ask the question "does having a computer make learning X better" where the X is anything not computer related.
No having a computer doesn't help your kids directly as an actor, understand philosophy, or learn math. (though it may make it easier to do research or write a paper etc.) What having a lot of experience using a computer does do is make them comfortable with USING A COMPUTER. And that is an invaluable vocational skill almost regardless of what they end up doing.
