My kids started with the ipod touches and then on to the ipad when it came out. They got the mini a few years ago. They had touch screens since they were infants. I am a bit jaded with the technology. The experience is too removed from the real world and they miss out on interactions with both other humans and the surrounding environment to their detriment. We won't be updating their devices and I would make different choices a second time around. I think chromebooks and PCs are even more useless at that age but being less seductive I would hope kids get bored quickly and instead engage in social play or interacting with physical objects.
