Interaction between kids and computers is a sensitive issues for parents nowadays. Some say a computer can enhance a kid's education, others argue that it is nothing more than a huge distraction for them. 

 I tend to agree with the former. Firstly, a lot of studying is done online these days. There are countless websites that contain knoledge students need and problems for them to solve. A lot of teachers use those as a source of homework. Secondly, a computer for a kid means easy communication with his or her peers. Thus, should he or she miss a class, a computer will provide a way to find out what was done during that class and what needs to be done for the next one.
