My ears are up but I don’t hear much noise about the detrimental affects of all these “i” type touch devices being used by little kids (the touch generation of kids).

That’s a good thing, even though I expected the usual volume surrounding any new technology. Hey, television was supposed to turn viewers into mindless zombies, computers should have slowly morphed us into reclusive autonotrons, video games into anti-social weirdopaths, and touch devices into?

Keep your eyes open the next time you are out and about. Tiny kids are staying busy using their parents touch phones and pads. Sure it’s a cool small person occupier, but look at the cool things they are doing.

There are bushels of apps for the little ones and most are very inexpensive or even free. Apps that are fun and games but also serve to educate, coordinate, and instruct. For kids with disabilities it’s a becoming an inexpensive gold mine with educational and game apps that are both age and ability toned to be intuitive, fun, and rewarding. Truly universal technology as it was meant to be.

I’m sure that some people out there will up the decibel level on these things at some point. For now the touch generation seems to have a clear path. Go for it!
