One of the modern controversies in parenting lore is when and how to introduce technology to babies, toddlers and young children. Indeed, some experts advise withholding technology completely until two or three years of age—or even later. My own review of this controversy suggests that there are some fundamental misunderstandings about technology, when it should be introduced, and more importantly, the purpose that this technology, including tablets, computers, smart phones, and DVDs, serves in a child's development.
