This businessweek article explains why children should have a computer: When Chiara Jannotta Rothenberg was just 18 months old, her parents started sitting her on their laps to watch photo slide shows on the home computer. By the time she was 2, Chiara was slowly punching keyboard buttons with her little fingers in Microsoft Word. “She wanted to learn what mommy was doing,” explains her mother, Jacqueline.
Children learn from imitation and exploration to do what their parents do and to become what their parents have become. From that perspective it seems a good idea to support the children with a kid’s PC and the like. However, on the risk of being conventional, I would like to keep them from computers as long as possible.
