Not a new book by any means but the Design of children’s technology by Allison Druin who is a leading authority in this particular field brings together even the most recent technology developments for children.

Technology For Kids

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

New technology is being released on a daily basis. Consumers are in effect getting younger and younger. Even if kids do not have the funds to purchase such technology their powers of persuasion with parents are great. Parents often give in to such technology purchases for kids because they also think the item is “cool”.

There are so many technology items to choose from for the younger age groups, such as virtual pets, video games. The Bionic eye for example has been a huge seller in the states recently, primarily because children find this technology engaging. The Bionic eye is basically a magnification tool in the form of a giant eyeball that is then plugged into a TV video input. As an educational tool the Bionic Eye is proving popular as it makes children explore what is around them.

Child Safety Internet Browsers

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

In the ever growing Internet age parents must do more to protect their child safety online. The popularity of social networking sites such as Facebook means younger people are sharing more and more of their personal details online. Unique internet products such as netnanny allow parents to impose limitations to their children’s online surfing activity, this includes limiting access to pornography and gambling websites such as online casino.

Child safe browsers also give the ability to strip away the complexity of Internet browsing, pop ups can be blocked and page opening can be restricted. The promotion of educational browsing for children can in fact come into the fore, parents themselves will even find such child safe browsing beneficial.
