<p>“I don’t welcome the idea that children should be pulled into technology at such a young age, but I guess it might just be inevitable in this generation.”</p>
<p>I don’t see a problem with it, other than that people should go outside more. But kids seem to be inclined to stay inside and play with toys all day even if they’re not electronic, especially if the weather is bad or they live in an unsafe area. The idea that there’s something inherently wrong with kids using computers just sounds paranoid.
I got my first computer when I was six, in 2002. It was my parents’ old Windows 98 computer that they gave me when they got a new one. It had one of those cathode ray tube monitors and didn’t have Internet access, but I had a bunch of those educational computer games and I liked to use the word processor to write stories. I don’t think it had any huge benefits but I enjoyed it and I don’t think it was harmful. As long as parents are watchful of how much their little kids are allowed to use computers and make sure they’re not giving out personal information on the Internet and such. It’s not the devices themselves that cause problems, it’s parents who use them to occupy their kids so they don’t have to spend time with them.</p>
