Book Reviews of Failure to Connect: How Computers Affect Our Children's Minds--for Better and Worse
Book Review: educational
Summary: 5 Stars
Great book. Very counter-culteral. Computers are attractive because they mean children need less one-on-one, and because companies can make money off of them. Healy tackles the important question, are they good for children?Yes, it would be good if there were more research. As Healy points out, there is not much profit motivation in showing computers do not help children.
