BTW, as kind of an aside, electronic tinkering isn’t dead, but it does require computer programming skills. It’s also a much more international hobby than it was a generation ago. Here are a couple of sites (there are many more) that cater primarily to the electronic hobbyist:

http://www.mikroe.com/
Robotics is a particularly active area.
