Hi!
This is a complex issue. First, computers changed the way we relate and communicate, the way we live and, ultimately, the way we learn.
This is a matter of both, education and instinct. It's OK for a child to play on a computer, but it's not OK for a child to use a computer only for fun.
Keep in mind that the Internet is NOT a child-friendly place, and they can be abused, harmed, and so on...
However, our greatest invention, the Internet, has some good parts, such as access to lots of data, and so on.
Anyway, learning and playing in the real world should be his greatest concern, and, if not, try to correct this.
The Internet changes, and so does our perception of it. Evaluate the situation accordingly.
Good luck!

it all depense, if you play games on the compter you might be addicted to the computer you will spend all your time on it but if you use it for educational uses only you may tend to want to play outside a bit more. The children will be smarter in a way they will be knoledgeble about how to use the internet to its fullest and so on... but you probable won't be much smarter if you just play games all day!!
So it all depense on what you want to use it for. how long you will useit for and if you like using it alot.

It can be both. Depends on what they are doing why they are on the computer. If just chatting and playing games then there grades and social skills will go down the tube. but if they are usinging it to further there education. then that is beneficial
