“we are working hard to educate a new generation in old ways, using tools that have ceased to be effective.”

“I started Sam on a computer very early—probably before he was three. He couldn’t move the mouse, he couldn’t do anything. He sat in my lap and did one of the Winnie the Pooh books on a computer. And the reason I wanted to do this, despite the controversy over how soon you should get a computer around a kid, is that I wanted him to see this as just a natural part of his environment, a normal tool for doing stuff with, nothing special. We did the same thing with books, reading to him, allowing him to claw them and throw them around, all in the interest of having him see books as a normal part of his life and a normal part of his family.”
