It appears since the arrival of iPads that the PC it is no longer the cutting edge technology that it once was.

Last Sunday, I taught six kids of ages 5 to 7 how to program. “In what programming language?” you may ask. Well…I didn’t use a programming language, at least none that you know of.

I spend a lot of time buying and testing iPad apps for kids. To be more specific, I lovingly do this for a certain two-year-old girl who is currently on a very successful #OccupyiPad mission in my house.

New and more sophisticated tools are changing the way that the next generation learns to program computers. Children can now create elaborate scenes and games without the cryptic commands that were once the only way to tell computers what to do.

I compiled a list of affirmations for children recently from a wish to help mine with self-mastery and positive programming . As adults, many of our limiting thought patterns can be attributed to childhood conditioning or having unconsciously adopted negative societal beliefs. While we look for ways to help realign ourselves, how about starting with a better way forward in our children?

This really makes you think. Advertising makes the web go round but at what price. The article makes reference to US laws. It seems to me that a law is only as good as the willingness to enforce it. How does any countries laws stack up in a global society? If the heat gets turned up, how easy is it to just move to a country where the laws are more to your liking?
