Since my older brother and his wife just had a baby in January, I have already taken so much interest in not only my nephew, but in children as a whole. I read an article this week about all of the different apps for kids. These apps vary from both fun and entertaining to educational. It is amazing to me to hear my brother talk about his friends with kids and how they all have Ipads for them to use. That seems so ridiculous to me because I didn't have my own laptop until I was in college. However the more I think about it, the use of technology is second nature to my generation and younger. We all grew up using our parents desktops, and the kids of today are learning through Ipads. So many companies have become successful by developing apps to help kids learn how to read or to multiply. It has only been within the past 3 years that Ipads have become popular, so I can't imagine what the technology and educational resources will be like by the time I have kids of my own. The only thing that truly worries me with these kids is their safety. The internet can be extremely dangerous, and I worry of these kids getting scammed or taken advantage of. If these different platforms are able to offer the privacy and protection that each person deserves, then these platforms will continue to grow and be successful.
