introducing computers and internet at an early age

Yes, it will inhibit creative thinking to a certain extent. Earlier television was known as the idiot box, now computers join the league. I feel diversity of cultures cannot disappear but perhaps understanding of lifestyles and practices can be improved.

I was only 13 years old when i started using internet and i came internet addictor when i came 16 years old and since last 2 months, i come online daily. I think that there is nothing bad in telling about the use of internet but an elder person should sit near to children and should keep on checking the children that what r they doing on internet. In this way, children do n't use negatively internet and i think that just by chatting, culture cann't mix.

I don't think introducing a child to a computer at an early age hinders creativity. My son is very creative and enjoys doing crafts. We started him on the computer at age 2. He loves the computer, but still participates in other activites like extra art and science classes. Granted he does enjoy the computer very much, but he knows when enough is enough and has other activites he likes to do. I think if your child grows up in an environment where all activities, creativity, etc. are encourgaed, they will flourish.
