I don't think they're gone, they've just moved online.

People will always be interested in making stuff, but what they want to make also changes.

When I was a kid I was soldering simple circut boards, writing simple software on my commodore 64, messing with the phone system...

Look up the maker movement (http://makezine.com/).  Look up what an arduino (http://www.arduino.cc/)  is or a raspberry pi (http://www.raspberrypi.org/).  Check out what kids are doing with simple 3D printers.

I could have only dreamed of having access to this when I was a kid.
