There is no doubt that we are essentially living in the information age. And this is largely due to the Internet, which has become available to virtually everyone, and many people, whether in the workforce, as students, or in their personal lives, cannot live without it. It is not surprising that this behavior is also imitated by young children who are eager to use the Internet.

However, it is clear that this situation is not simple. The brains of young children are not developed enough to absorb all the complexities that the Internet brings. Sure, we use the Internet to tell our children stories on YouTube and elsewhere, but are we really doing the right thing? But are we really doing the right thing?

According to the latest findings, children should not watch screens, whether TV, computers, or tablets, until at least age 2. Until then, they should be entertained with classic toys and age-appropriate picture books. Otherwise, they will damage their brains as well as their eyesight.

On the other hand, too little too late is not good. Technological literacy, especially with regard to the Internet, is very important, and if children do not have it, they are at a considerable disadvantage. Thus, it is not a bad idea to introduce children to the world of the Internet as soon as they are old enough.

However, it is not enough to just give them a tablet device and let them do whatever they want. The key here is supervision, showing the child different websites that are appropriate for them and talking to them about the dangers of the Internet. Gradually, as they grow older, they can be given more freedom. [Unfortunately, this is something most parents do not do. Unfortunately, this is something most parents don\’t do, because it is usually easier to entertain their children with a tablet, and because the parents themselves are not computer literate enough to realize this. That is very unfortunate.
