I think you're doing your children a disservice. They will be using technology in college and when they start working - no matter what their field of work is - so it's best to get them comfortable with tech early. My 4th grader is learning how to type because my 7th grader has been complaining how hard it is to do schoolwork when she's such a slow typist.[/quote]

I work in AI, and tech I didn’t have a personal computer until college. There is no net benefit to having a computer in K, and as someone who now manages “digital natives” they are very bad at computers. [/quote]

My kids didn’t use computers at all until middle school, and then only to learn typing and for writing papers or presentations. Computer use has increased a bit in high school but still more limited than their peers. They both got accepted to top 50 colleges this year. I’m very thankful we waited because they learned to use other methods of learning rather than relying on computers and I think they’re better off because of it. Your children will not die from underuse of computers.[/quote]
