I am a computer scientist as well as a father and I totally agree with everything said in this video.
I am also a gamer and have a big problem with other people who say that video games are bad for children. I grew up with video games and believe that the puzzles, critical thinking skills, strategy and critical problem solving skills are essential to a young persons mind. These games not only teach the player to solve problems on their own but allow them to hone those skills and become better and faster thinkers. My daughter already at the age of 1 1/2 has a learning laptop and has been introduced to learning games.
With that said I will leave you with this:
I am a product of technology and video games and believe that in the future, if children are sheltered from technology they will be left behind.
