Nowadays most of the children use technology such as computers, outside of the school setting. The amount of using computers in early years depends on the gender and socio-economic back grounds. The majority of children use computers to play the games and boys are more enthusiastic to bring that into play to compare with girls. It is good to mention here, those children who are belonging to lower socio-economic class have positive attitude to use computers than middle classes. Children love to explore and they excited to use computer as much as use at home. With knowing about this enthusiasm of children, parents and school’s staff must pay more attention and provide opportunity with appropriate programs to enhance children’s skills in this field.
In many years ago, when new technologies such as Television, Radio, video, … came to market, people was scared to bring those stuff to home until they got used to it; but nowadays children accept every new technology quickly. So, we also must become up grade and arrange chances for our kids.
Using computers must be started from 4 years old. They become mature enough to handle and understand the programs. We must lead them to different suitable agenda to learn some more occasions besides playing games. In addition, to compare than before, these days, boys and girls are using computers as a same time and no differences between their interests. Both genders love to have own home computer and try those class learning at home.
