Failure to Connect: How Computers Affect Our Children's Minds--For Better and Worse
This invaluable resource, the first comprehensive guide to children's development in a technological age, challenges widely accepted theories about computers as learning tools. Although the drive to teach our children to use computers as early as possible has been fueled by everyone from the computer industry to the federal government, Jane M. Healy argues that the rush into new technology has turned our attention from the basics of education and risks damaging children's bodies and minds. Calling for essential reforms and rethinking, Healy explains how computer use interacts with brain development at different ages and outlines positive steps educators and parents can take. She explains, for example, why most children under age seven are better off without computers, how to evaluate school computer use, and how parents can monitor on-line time for youngsters of all ages. She offers a primer for parents and a blueprint for program planning as well as helpful criteria for good quality educational software and Internet use.

Blundering Into the Future:
Hype and Hope

"Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living."

Nicholas Negroponte

"Computers? The more the better. I want my kids to be prepared for the real world out there."

Suburban father, Atlanta, Georgia

"Technology! I feel as if we're being swept down this enormous river--we don't know where we're going, or why, but we're caught in the current. I think we should stop and take a look before it's too late."

Assistant Superintendent of Schools, Long Island, New York

Technology shapes the growing mind. The younger the mind, the more malleable it is. The younger the technology, the more unproven it is.
