I'm really concerned about whether to raise a child with full access to computers or not.
I was not raised with a computer and I feel like that was a good thing, especially given that computers change so much. I look back 20 years and think to myself, what if I had been raised on computers as kids seem to be now? Knowledge of computers 20 years ago would be of absolutely no use today. The time spent learning them would have been wasted.
So then the question is, do you think that the same thing will happen in the future? What if a child today spends most of its time learning computers, learning math on the computer, learning spelling on the computer, learning to write on the computer, etc., and then in 20 years the knowledge is useless and the child would have wasted much of its youth learning them? I know computers are so commonplace today, but I have seen them come and go over the years and I am worried about what might happen in the future.
