I am a bit younger and not a father (yet) but I often wonder how I will deal with raising kids in a "connected" time. As I graduating computer science student and developer, I find myself glued to the internet more then I would like and am not sure where its appropriate to intervene in a child's exploration of the vast web. It seems easier when I was a little kid, all I had for awhile was Big Bird's Spelling game, Reader Rabbit, and Math Blaster. Oh, and Frogger (who's timing was based on the CPU speed and eventually got very very hard as we upgraded hardware...) I agree that ADs and media really do shape our minds more than we might realize. Especially when its embedded in shows and games... I at least feel fortunate to be able to follow your path of parent hood and learn from your mistakes and successes. Glad you get to go first and not me haha :) Best of luck with the ADs and the internet! Btw- Club Penguin does look really fun! Hi, thanks for another great article.
