It wasn't all that long ago that when someone did something really silly you would say, "use your brains!" to indicate they need to think more carefully before repeating that again. But what if you no longer had to use your brains? Because now your smartphone is your brain? What would that do to us as a society? How or why would you have to learn, when you wouldn't need to use your brain? |
You don't need anything to amuse them, except maybe a piece of paper, or a little piece of string. They'll do wonderful things with simple objects. But don't expose them to your cellphone, or other techie media before they're old enough. Let those little brains develop as they have before smartphones were ever invented. When they explore, using their hands, with different objects a magical thing happens. Those neural pathways develop like crazy!
