High Teck for Tots. What's next?

There's nothing wrong with it as long as they still have their building blocks therir are alot kids out there that are very smart plus they like their to act there parents even with iPad that's ok as long as play with there blocks...You're not a old duffer!!! cd

I am very glad,fortunate and very happy that i am not born in this present age.I have had a perfect childhood where i thoroughly enjoyed being and doing what a child normally does or is supposed to do ,that is play and enjoy a carefree life leaving all the responsibilities to my parents.Yes, in the good old days 50 years and more ago there were no computers,no taperecorders and only the old valve radios for entertainment and of course, no TV.So we had plenty of time to play and plenty of time to study.The air and atmosphere was clean and fresh and most of our time was spent outdoors.Nowadays children at a very young age are exposed to all the gadgetry which has made them subservient to them.Ask any child today to add or subtract and multiply some numbers and what will they do, they will reach out for the calculator, which thankfully did not exist during my childhood.If you are an old duff, then i am also an old duff, and i certainly don`t mind being one, because i really enjoyed being a child during my childhood days and not the geek that one is supposed to become these days.Say Amen to that commander sahib.

Whoa ipad's for tots. I am with you what next, real cell phones for toddlers. Seems a bit too extreme for a toddler really. As I can understand that it is quite an impressive gadget and perhaps there will be some learning lessons on there for their imagination. Wow and and I thought air jordans, lol at the time were a bit too much for toddlers. The world is continuing to evolve and or marketing strategies are sky rocketing to appeal for more sales.

Just wondering, will they invent disposable iPads as well? Some that can be sold for less than 5$, so parents can replace them as soon as they're broken? I'm watching the kids around me - I don't have any of my own, but I'm constantly surrounded by children, for one reason or another - and indeed they are all fascinated by buttons. Phones, remote controls, mice, keyboards - anything goes - it makes me wonder how children were playing before buttons came into fashion. The touch screen gadgets don't seem to interest them too much

It will be fun to watch them using ipads and banging them lol, but it will be very helpful in developing their mindset on using technology
