There’s something intrinsically cool to kids when it comes to many things “tech” and seemingly even more so when we begin to talk touch interfaces. Parents are letting their 4 year olds play with their touch screen smart phones, toy manufacturers are marketing to young children with interactive learning devices… they just seem to take to it all. Instinctively.
Looking at my own little ones, I can see how impactful computers have been in their lives and I can definitely see how access to information and some other very cool tid bits have definitely been a benefit to them, so the question I have for you in this, our final post sponsored by the awesome folks at Microsoft and Asus, is this:
How have computers improved your child’s life?
My answer: Currently, I’d have to go with Homework aid. With my children spanning Junior and Senior High, and my work schedule keeping me from helping sometimes (and my wife trying to help all three children at the same time), having the computer as a resource is often as good as my being home and helping. I’ll tell you why. In Los Angeles, the Public Library system offers homework tutoring from a live person, via computer, after school. This has become an indispensable resource along with Khan Academy videos!

I feel the computer helped my kids read so much sooner than if they didn’t have the computer. All of our kids (4) were the only kids in kindergarten who were reading on day 1. That jump start has allowed them to progress steadily as they move grade to grade.
Also, the sense of connectedness to their grandparents who send them personal emails. All in all, for the better!
That’s awesome Ed! A great example of how tech definitely can have a very positive effect on the lives of children. Bravo to you sir. 🙂
Technology is such and important tool, but we shouldn’t allow it to take over our daily lives. Balance is important.
Agreed! Balance is definitely the most important thing. 🙂
My kiddo was playing with my iPhone when he was barely 2 and now he knows how to go through pictures, play videos, and play his games. While I think every parent thinks their kid is the smartest around, I definitely feel the same way about my kid and I think this phone has just sparked so many wires inside his brain.
Genius baby!
