Submission + - Ask Slashdot: How early, if at all, should toddlers get educational screen time? 1
ne0phyte73 writes: I got my first computer (C64) when I was 13. My daughter got her (OLPC) when she was 5. What are the current trends? I see new AI-powered edutainment products, like AILA coming to the market, targeted at toddlers. Would you give something like this to your 18 months old? (Kidshealth claims that there should be no screen time at all until that age, with the exception of "video chatting with grandparents or other family friends, which is considered quality time interacting with others."). Well, developers of AILA claim that they provide quality interaction with AI-powered characters.
Do you believe in the claims of developers that this or similar systems help toddlers to develop?
Would you give it to your child?
If this is, in fact, a "quality interaction", would you give it to kids even before they are 18 months old?
