Article Abstract:
Parents may believe that allowing children to use a computer will teach them useful skills, but the opposite may be true, and children may fail to learn skills such as socializing and talking. Computers may have less educational value than realized, with children rewarded for trial and error. Funds spent on computers in schools may be subtracted from remedial programs and other important projects. Computers have some benefits, for example through word processing, which fosters experimentation, but time on computers should be rationed.
