And re: the extras it wants you to install - that reminds me of all the times google toolbar or itunes have been forced upon me.

Sep 13th 2006 10:20AM While I would usually be the first to criticise the Telegraph, I think many of you here actually missed the point.
The article was in response to a letter from a number of noteworthy english men and women, including children's authors and members of charities promoting
children's welfare.
They don't claim to me scientific experts, they
don't just blame technology, and they don't think we should regress to the dark ages, but they do have some very interesting points, which I think most would be hard pressed to argue with.
Namely, children today have shown to be lacking in emotional stability, social skills, concentration span and maturity when compared to children as little as
15 to 20 years ago.
It's blamed on a 'junk culture', which while aided and abetted by technology - especially television and computer games, is by no means the only source of the problem. Other culprits are advertising, fast food, and the culture which has led to children acting like 'mini adults'.
By all means, dont stop children from enjoying themselves by watching television, or playing on the computer. But these activities are not enough in themselves for a child's development.
