Computers are ubiquitous. As computers have become less expensive they have been purchased by more and more families for their homes. Because of this, many children begin to use computers at an early age. Even if computers are not available in their home, children almost certainly will begin to come into contact with computers in school.
Some adults are amazed by how readily young children use computers. Many children find that using computers gives them a sense of power and accomplishment. And, unlike many adults whose first or primary contact with computers is work related, most children first use computers for entertainment purposes and games. This is by no means the only use that children have for computers. Children also use computers for accessing information, as well as for writing stories and research papers.

In addition, children use a variety of learning programs, which either seek to teach or reinforce basic skills in math, language, reading, and other subjects. Other software allows children to draw pictures or create visual works of art and self-expression. Communication with others is growing as an application of computers by children, particularly as more homes and schools gain access to the Internet. As computers continue to become more powerful, increasing numbers of children are using computers to create multimedia presentations and even web sites that include pictures, text, audio, and even video.

Because computer use is promoted in schools, and because computers are so ubiquitous, children have a great deal of exposure to them. Not everyone, however, is comfortable with the use of computers by young children. Some, including the Alliance for Childhood, have called for a halt to the use of computers by young children. Such groups cite the costs as well as possible health effects that using computers may have on children. The true impact that early computer use has on children is uncertain. Even though there is not enough information to state authoritatively that computers have any negative effects on children, the possible adverse effects that have been cited are serious enough to warrant consideration

Computers are everywhere. They're less expensive so have been bought for more homes. kids are using them at an earlier age, even if they don't have one at home as they can use them at school.

Adults are amazed by young kids' computer literacy - this can give children a sense of power and accomplishment and they use computers for fun rather than work, as the adult community do.

Children can use computer programs to learn or improve basic skills: academic, reading or artistic. They can communicate easily, aided by the growing use of internet in homes and schools. Computers are becoming more powerful, allowing children to access presentations, pictures, text and audio.

Because ocmputers are everywhere, and are promoted at school, kids are constantly exposed to them but not everyone is happy about this. The Alliance for Childhood want to stop kids using computers, partly because of the costs and the health effects that it can cause. It's uncertain what effect computers have on children, but even though there isn't enough information about it yet, the possibility of negative effects are serious enough to put children's computer use under consideration.
