getting your kids technologically connected at a young age will help them build the tools they need to survive in the modern world, off the amish farm, out of the kibbutz, away from the teepee, and preventing them from accessing the technology will merely retard their development in a changing world.

the times they are a changin'. eh? 

you adapt, or you die.

don't hobble your childrens' development by blocking them from the real world. give them access to the tools they need to thrive and survive at a young age. help them adapt. don't condemn them to stagnation.

i might even go so far as to characterize banning your kids from technology as a form of child abuse. it is rigid, conservative parenting and an idea that has no place in a free society.
