I am deeply bothered by this. What a misuse of materials and philosophy! I am not opposed to technology, but all of these software that purports to help children's learning is really hindering their development. What happened to hands on experiences, with exploration with real, concrete objects? What about the opportunity for social interaction as children explore their environment? No wonder we have children that are growing up with motor and language delays! What's going to happen to acquiring interpersonal skills?
