I am a firm believer that if every child in the states were to have their very own computer (to do work with online or offline), it would literally increase a child's perception of education as a whole. In today's day and age, children are in total sync with the use of a personal computer. From social networking, video games, and online chatting, children can relate to the use of such a valuable tool. I think that if someone were trained at a very young age (at least 7-8) the fundamental advantages of having a computer (for scholastic activities), it would increase one's diligence to get more assignments done on time. It would also decrease the amount of books and supplies one would have to bring to school. Eventually, if every child were to have the opportunity to have their own laptop, the only use of a pen and paper are for writing lessons and test-taking. What a wonderful would that would be: Better for the environment as well as better for our children. I had an overwhelming feeling of warmth as I read on this particular blog.
