There is no reason not to fully embrace technology as a learning tool. Education software for children has come a long way and is great at teaching children almost every subject offered at school.
What can't be taught by a program and that can only come from a parent is unconditional love and a good example. A computer program, television show, or a book can all be very effective in teaching even good etiquette and morals to children, but they can't hug a child, show interest in their art work, encourage them, or (extremely important) set a living example of acceptable behavior.
The important parts of parenting are not "teaching morals" but instead "modeling morals". One of the worst lies you can ever tell yourself or your child is, "Do as I say; not as I do."
The other extremely important part is simply showing affection and care. Children, like everyone, need to be shown that they are important and loved. Asking about how your child did on a test and helping to tutor them if they are doing poorly in a subject is important because of the love this attention shows and not important because of the grade it improves.
Well, the grades can be important too. . . but they aren't AS important. If you'd rather hug your kids and bake more cookies to show your love than being a tutor, feel free to let the computer program do that for you.
