Too young for technology?
"Parents, scholars reconsider tech for youngsters" 
[In asking how young is too young to benefit from computers,
this article reports 31% of American kids using computers by
age 3. If TV watching is discouraged until age 3, there could
be similar considerations for computers. I was lucky that TV
wasn't available until I was 3. And my very sociable 12-year-old 
son started enjoying a Mac in Japanese and English from age 3 - Ed.]
