[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who seriously think children need to learn to use technology before they are say...15...16...are just SO wrong. [b]I was 16 when my parents first got internet. Nobody had any. I am doing perfectly fine in this day and age.[/b] There is absolutely NO NEED to introduce children to technology early. Absolutely none. There are no benefits to using technology to most children and it does harm to many. The only exception to me are things like autistic children who can not speak, but can type and communicate with a computer for example. All healhty, able bodied children can learn about technology once their bodies and brains are mostly fully developed.

I would not send my kids to a school that uses lots of technology at all. Teacher/student relationships and 'real' work and learning can never be replaced by sitting in front of a screen and punching in keys. Sorry.[/quote]

You're only right to a certain extent. Sure, you're doing fine in [i]today's[/i] day and age, but technology is literally the future. I'm not saying they should be screen-monkeys, but your idea (and a terrible one at that) that kids shouldn't even [u]learn[/u] to use technology, let alone limit it, is extremely radical and incorrect.[/quote]

Sooo...what about using an iPad prepares you for the future of technology? When the technology of the future is here, we will learn how to use it. If it's like the iPad, that can be accomplished over breakfast.[/quote]
