Don't worry, you're not the only tightarse out there. I used to know one dad who would not even allow a television set in his home. Then again he was a religious nut, you cannot expect any sensible behaviour from them anyway.
I don't agree with your values, but as such I try to respect them. Personally, I'd never go that far. Mobile phones, computers, video games, television, Internet...all of these things are "bad for kids", depending on which source you listen to. But they are also a very strong part of our culture, and it is only natural that your children display an interest in these things. Completely prohibiting the incorporation of such things in their lives seems rather inane to me.
Each to their own, of course.
