Sigh. Computers Make Kids Dumber

With a quantitative study of 100,000 children worldwide, UK researchers find that there is a negative correlation between children's test scores and computer presence at home. This will come as a disappointment to U.S. phone subscribers: a federal tax on phone lines to fund computers in schools raises billions of dollars a year.

  1. IMO the computers a tool. Tools can do good things or, really bad things. If you stick your kid on a computer, they are alone.......Guess what happens? I shudder to think. If you supervise, keep an eye one what they are doing, suggest things, get involved.....Guess what happens? SMART kid.
