My neice now at age of 10 years old, spend hours on youtube, and I am not concerned if she is catching bugs, or figuring out that the internet is slow, but instead I am concerned that the evil the techonology is making to happen to our children, besides the evil that it is also doing to us. Technology must be avoided as much as we can. The trully malware is not affecting our computers, but our minds.

A friend of mine about her four year old:
"My daughter was doing a little song and dance this morning and was really boogieing down. She paused for a second and said,"I'm buffering"

When I was that age (late 1950s, NYC area) television was, not new, but new as a common household 'appliance' everyone aspired to own. The 'lucky ones' had 'color' tvs that were absolutely awful by modern standards but most people had B&W sets. When I watched TeeVee it was with the rest of the family, like an outing, or going to a movie. There was always an adult there to help me out with complex concepts (and violence... "Racket Squad, The Untouchables, and Highway Patrol were just as bloody as a modern war movie). Later in their history teevees became babysitters with no adult attending. It does make a difference to have an adult nearby watching teevee with you if you're a child, and not just a chronological adult which is what many are now days after being babysat by teevee until they were terminally 'dumbed' and numbed.
