introduced to a computer as a Gaming Devise or as a Learning/Educational Tool?? My youngest daughter always was advanced for her age, at 3 years old she wanted a puter, I got her one, not online but with age appropriate learning software, and she did learn very quickly plus became computer literate at an early age. A lot of people thought she was years older than her true age when she would converse with people that really didn't know us, and were shocked when learning that she was 5 and sounded 9.
