Same effect as wealth.... (Score 1)

Computers have the same effect as wealth on children. As I understand it, the end economic product of wealthy children is polarized, more so than middle class or poor children. They are more likely to either do very well or do very poorly and live off their parents.

The effect is the same with computers. It leads students to either waste away their lives and brains in front of them, or, if a good student, they can use the computer as an additional tool to help them excel.

I spent hours every day in front of the computer in high school, and I had perfect grades (4.000) and excellent ACT and SAT scores. If anything, they helped me through my education rather than hindered me in any way.
