Can't Stop Geeking

I love technology and any new gadgets fascinate me, but I worry about younger children. They are being brought up on technology so much that many don’t seem to know how to go outside and play. So, when I hear about stuff like this flexible tablet computer for children, I worry just a tiny bit. Kids are already getting computer education in school and most have traditional family computers in their home. Does this same child need a computer that goes in their backpack?
