peculiar17: Y una children no go spoil,u dey buy ipad 4an 8yr old

texanomaly:
I agree here. It is up to the parents to make sure there is a healthy balance.

Technology is fast becoming more and more important in learning. If we are to prepare students for 'real world' expectations, we need to start younger in this preparation. Being technologically savvy is a must, if one is to function in the business world today. Many companies expect applicants to be much more tech savvy than is the reality. Students are leaving college unprepared for the workplace.

Starting young, and exposing children to as much tech type learning is essential, if they are going to be prepared for the ever changing world of technology. This makes parental guidance and boundaries a must, to keep children physically, emotionally and technologically prepared for the future.

Mannylex: Funny thing is, all this stuffs doesn't happen in naija. Still wondering why. Even despite buying all the fake accessories.

Blackteeth:
The reason I dont spend time on Nairaland is that am tired of seeing many dumb comments passing as sensible posts.
That comment is one reason why Africa will always remain BACKWARD. This is not about owning an ipad at age 8. This is simply called EXPOSURE. Go and see for yourself what 14 year olds do in developed countries. That app on your phone was problably developed by a 14 year old. What a 13 year old kid can do in developed countries, most 30 year olds in Africa can only dream of it. Its all as a result of EXPOSURE. So what is wrong if a 8 year old uses an ipad?
Primitive African mentality

dollarlander:

why are you so strong in your stupid believe, even the cats in my house will disagree with you because they play computer game. it is your mentality that has problem and people of same mind with you will share such myopic reasoning. grow up joor.

Finestlex: African mentality, Nigeria is 50years backward. That's why in western world, kids are recognised for inventing something remarkable at the age of 12/13. Cos they are exposed to technology at earliest stage.

adaobi123:

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. So I don't really care what you think. I'll stand by my beliefs.

dollarlander:

but I disagree with you that you live in a developed country.

adaobi123:

Huh ?

dollarlander:

that's what I wanted to force out of your mind. you live in a very conservative world. I can understand where you are coming from. you live where they worship money and because the tax you pay on everything makes you think parochially. imagine you were born and bred in a conservative world, you can't live outside where you are because if you see what people do with money you will faint. Lol.

I get you but can you blame us ?

No qualms
