    Getting sick of AA batteries? Here's the guide for you. A nice listing of the non-tech orgs in the bibliography. I agree with it, but I also think these guys shouldn't throw the baby w/the bathwater. Learned about this from CCIE.

Op-Ed Contributor - Your Baby Is Smarter Than You Think - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Babies and young children can learn about the world around them through all sorts of real-world objects and safe replicas, from dolls to cardboard boxes to mixing bowls, and even toy cellphones and computers. Babies can learn a great deal just by exploring the ways bowls fit together or by imitating a parent talking on the phone. (Imagine how much money we can save on “enriching” toys and DVDs!)

    An attempt to shed light on the recurring worry about a topic that keeps coming up, but few people seem to want to systematically -- young children and RF (Radio Frequency) radiation that comes with devices like iPhones, and connected gaming systems like the PSP and DS.

  • Robotic Pets & Preschoolers [pdf]  [top] This study examined preschool children’s reasoning about and behavioral interactions with one of the most advanced robotic pets currently on the retail market, Sony’s robotic dog AIBO. Eighty children, equally divided between two age groups, 34–50 months and 58–74 months, participated in individual sessions with two artifacts: AIBO and a stuffed dog. Evaluation and justification results showed similarities in children’s reasoning across artifacts. In contrast, children engaged more often in apprehensive behavior and attempts at reciprocity with AIBO, and more often mistreated the stuffed dog and endowed it with animation. Discussion focuses on how robotic pets, as representative of an emerging technological genre, may be (a) blurring foundational ontological categories, and (b) impacting children’s social and moral development.

      You can't fool a kid. They know the difference between a real dog and a fake one. Or do they? It makes sense that children pick this up at 24 months, when they start reprentational thought. I'd like to read the full study...

    A friend of mine's three-year-old son can turn on a computer, direct the internet browser to YouTube and search for funny video clips. When I learned this I thought, "there's no way." But it's amazing what kids are capable of. These so-called digital natives never knew of a world without computers, cell phones, or the internet. I read about a couple who develop iPhone games for kids, and use their three-year-old as the guinea pig. Parents often rely on their kids to show them how this stuff works, leaving them wondering how they're supposed to, well, be the parents here. We wanted to find out how parents can encourage their kids' use of technology without losing control. So we called up two experts in the field. First, Warren Buckleitner, editor of Children's Technology Review, and author of a recent study on young children's tech habits, and Lisa Guernsey, senior policy analyst at New America Foundation, and author of the 2007 book Into the Minds of Babes.
