ELECTRIKIDS

I was born on the last period of the 80's and I grew up during an era, where Japan was on its break of covering the face of technology with alot of interactive video console games; among these is the legnedary Family Computer, I was so amazed that I can hurt and control the people I see on tv. Along these times the PC, although it plays a major role at adult's work and is a familiar site at home. Most of the programs and features that I see adults fiddling with the PC is just plain typing and an endless game of minesweeper. So everything that I did and got interested with then are just video game consoles that keeps on getting better and better every time they release one.

However, this is not how the world of kids run along nowadays. The sequence have been toppled upside down and hundreds of kids know more about programming, PC game and digital animation compared to those of the adult majority. These kids start using the PC as early as they start to speak and walk and some guys who play major roles in IT frims are teenagers. A phenomenal factor that continues to help develop the PC into something which everyone of all ages can consider a necessity; is the internet. The internet has made the computer play a vital role in the workplace through helping out people settle a deal and have everybody in the company synchronized and updated by just sitting in front of the PC and through clicking the mouse. The kids who study and will therefore consist of what will happen to our future, utilize the computer in amuch more significant way compared to their notebooks and notes. The internet definitely made education a lot easier and faster compared to how it used to be centuries ago. The kids can finish their paperwork and researches about Africa, bombs, reptiles, legends and nebulas by just using their computer and come up with such amazing outputs.

The kids are constantly being delivered of thousands of different games that allows them to be their favorite superheroes than by just watching them and through the linkage of the internet, hundreds of kids from all over the world can play together in constant synchronization! Wowww!!! That is what's probably gathering these kids in front of computers afterschool, everyday. Kids as early as 7 years old can have a Friendster or MySpace connection that can expose them to thousands of people all over the world. I myself, as an ordinary student does use these certain features of rapid messaging and limitless communication that even distance can not stop it

it is good that you mentioned the realization that these kids will be the people in the future. So while seeing them, in a way we can also think and see that the world's future is the cyberworld . . .
