Are Computers for Kids?

http://live.pirillo.com - Eric emailed to ask me what age I feel is good for a child to have their first computer, or access to one. He feels that it depends on the child in particular, and their level of responsibility. Personally, I feel there's much more to it than that.

My 4 year old little sister can use the iPad 2 and iPhone better than I've seen alot of my friends use them!

I have had computer access since I was about 8 years old.

However I have had my own computer for only 2 and 1/2 years.

I just do normal use with it though.

When I was younger around Windows 95-98 when I was at school the teacher is asking us to do something in Microsoft word and I don't know anything about it because I dont have a computer, but after a few years I finally have computer and after years of using and different experience using it improves my skills dramatically. Now I reckon I know a lot more stuff about the computer better than most of my classmates at school. I study 2d and 3d animation I am also a self employed technician.
