Study: Computer Use a Boost to Young Minds

"Preschool children who use a computer appear to develop better learning skills than peers who lack computer savvy, researchers said Monday.

In a study of 122 children aged 3 to 5, those exposed to a home or school computer either alone or with someone else three to four times a week scored higher on tests that gauge school readiness and cognitive development than non-users, said the study published in the journal Pediatrics."
