CHILDREN AND COMPUTERS
We are already familiar with computers – computers work for us at home, in offices, in industry. But it is also true that many children today are using computers at school before they can write. What does this mean for the future? Are these children lucky or not?
Many people who do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that is not good for them. They think that children are growing up not knowing about the real world.
But people who understand more about computers see that they can be very good for children. A computer can help them learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want, to learn and to think for themselves. And for the future, don’t we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well? What do you think?
