i have a niece and a nephew who are so aware of the Internet and the latest gadgets we have. My niece is 8 years old and my nephew is 7 years old. At the early age, they already know how to turn on and off the computer, and they also know how to use it. Both of them has a friendster account (imagine, a 7 and 8 year old kid) and i don't know they want to have it. Also, they know how to use the Internet and find the latest games. They both have a Nintendo DS that makes them so busy every time they play with it. Sometimes they won't lend it to me because they were to busy playing their games. After they finished the whole game, they will ask for another one.
They got their Nintendo DS from their parents because they both get high grades from school. Before they only play with their toys and watch cartoons, but now they have a gadget and they know how to use the computer and the Internet.
Although they have good grades at school but the violence of some games are really not good for kids. There are games that are so brutal and kids should not play it. My nephew is a smart boy, he's good at school but sometimes he's lazy to do their kumon assignments and finished it on that same day. My niece is a smart girl also, she can control herself on how to use her time for playing and for school. Good thing that they have parents that could discipline them.
It's not bad that kids know how to use the computer, surf the Internet and play with their gadgets but parents should give discipline to their kids to balance the time of studying and playing.
