My four year old son just got his first computer complete with Internet access.  Many people think that there is something wrong with that, but in this technological age, I feel that being computer literate will give him advantages in life.

There is so much that he can do already on his own.  He can start it up and logon to his favorite free online games.  This gives him something to do with his free time besides watch television.  Most of the games he plays are educational. 

He is quickly learning his way around the web and I try to use his computer as a teaching tool.  If he has a question, we go to the computer to try and find the answer.  This is also teaching him problem solving skills.  We also like to look up interesting facts about his favorite interests.  I have learned a lot about dinosaurs and he has sure absorbed a lot of that information as well.

So, until I am proved wrong, I think my son having a computer is a good choice for us.
