Agreed. Children's development has been tuned by ages and ages according to a world full of stimuli. The reason kids seems to go for iPads is because they are more like the actual world. You touch them, they react.
- bornhuetter 14y agoKids love TV, why bother teaching them to read useless outdated books? TV shows are visual and auditory, so much more like the real world.
- ForrestN 14y agoI didn't argue that kids should use iPads instead of the real world. I think it may be better that they don't use computers at all. I was merely suggesting that an iPad might be better for them than a command line interface.
- wtetzner 14y agoI would argue that giving them something that simulates things in the real world is less valuable than showing them something they can't get in the real world. If if simulates something in the real world, why not just let them interact with the real thing?
