I wanna go there and do a course on theropy dogs and then bring that sort of thing over to the UK in a more widespread mannor.
I completely disagree that technology is detromental to early development. You got kids these days who, granted, don't know their 12 times table, but they can type at speed that would shame most secutairies 20 years ago. Some can code programs and apps and widgets that would take an entire team to recreate 10 years ago. It is now presumed that anyone my age knows the basics when it comes to Word and most (but not all) of MS Office.
However, there are major downfalls, such as handwriting will go out the window eventually, it'll take a long time, but it'll happen, at least, as a primary form of writing. Spelling is allowed to become lazy, pressing one button where three should be pressed. For some reason, thank's mostly to mobile phones without qerty and the limit in chars, it's become acceptable, but even that is going down, people are realising that at least attempting spelling is coming back, big time.
