In a survey of 1,463 parents, the media-monitoring group found that the number of very young children using smartphones and tablets has shot up in the past year. According to the study, 38 percent of children under 2 have used a mobile device for media, up from only 10 percent two years ago.
Common Sense Media founder and CEO Jim Steyer told HuffPost Live that this is disconcerting, considering the American Academy of Pediatrics’ warnings against any digital media screen time for children at that age.
“The reason is, there’s clear evidence about some of the potentially damaging effects on development,†Steyer said. “And also there’s no evidence that any learning happens via media up until the age of 2.â€
The AAP recently released a call for parents to introduce a “media diet†to their kids

I just bought my first tablet at age 23. My family got a desktop computer at age 14, and I bought my first laptop at age 19. Kyds should be kyds and play outside away from electronics until they are at least preteens.There are no academic values for kyds to be using technology so young. They don't have to type long research papers. So what if your kyd can read at age three. It doesn't matter in the long run.

We got our first desktop when I was five or six, it was a packard bell. windows 3.1 you guys!! but I used it to play games and doodle in whatever ms paint was called back then, and write stories. Extreme, right? All my games were like kiddie dinosaur games, and...well paint doodles and writing stories. No internet back then. Ski Free! The ski free yeti.
I got my first laptop when I went away to college at 18. I assumed that's when *everyone* gets their first laptop, so these days seeing younger kids with laptops is weird. And the super young kids with smartphones! What the fucking hell! I saw a bunch of middle or elementary schoolers with iphones and I stopped in my tracks and turned around to double check that it was for real. Seriously??
Crayons were my shit. Coloring books. Just pieces of paper so I could write stories and make them up. Basically stick little me anywhere when I was young and I'd make up stories about it. Hasn't changed much especially since NaNo started today.
Kids with smartphones is fifteen flavors of oh hell no. Get off my lawn!!

I could read at age 3 and the only thing it got me was in trouble in school. I had a first grade teacher who couldn't handle the fact that I was bored stupid with "Dick and Jane" and was reading a copy of _Treasure Island_ instead.

I've seen my friend's brat use duhd's iPad on many occasions (brat just turned 3). Duhd says he mainly gives it to the kid to entertain him during the drive to preschool/work. However did I grow up into a fully functioning adult without this? I mean, my mom and dad would make us sit in the backseat of the car and entertain ourselves with coloring books. If we didn't want to do that, we sat there and looked out the window. The horror.

THIS. I wonder if all this ADD (When it is real) isn't due to all this electronic stimulation. What is wrong with a damn coloring book and crayons or something to read in the car? I don't get it. I was perfectly happy on long trips in the back seat comfy with a pillow or two and comforter if needed and my books. Yeesh.,

And my most hated thing in school was the stupid reading aloud. I always read ahead because I don't have the patience to go paragraph-by-paragraph. That got me in trouble, too, because if I was called on to read out loud, I didn't know where the class was because I was way ahead.
