[Margaret Pilkington]

While there is some evidence that the use of computers/media devices/computer games, can affect developing brains, then I think it must be used with caution in the very young.

Certainly, teens and young adults seem to be more interested in texting their friends than having a face to face conversation....this cannot be useful when developing interpersonal skills.

I have friends who are parents of teenagers, and they tell me that they get little more than grunts in the way of conversation from their children....and you might say that it was like that in your day...well, it wasn't in mine.

Like all things...moderation is the key.........and a modicum of parental control.
