In today's world, children seem to naturally gravitate toward technology. How can technology be used to nurture creativity in young children as well as keep them active?

View A

New technologies that are still fun and allow children to explore their imagination are more appealing and should be encouraged.

View B

Children will most likely always choose more passive technology experiences like playing video games and watching television over creative endeavors.

JBonnin thinks: Of course we need to use all the technology's benefits...

However, I do believe raising a child must follow the same principles always: love giving and a lot of socialization, which no technology can supply.

For those who will not consider socialization a key factor in raising children, I'd like to suggest a glance at 'Independent Rational Animals', by Professor Alasdair MacIntyre.
