A Kid’s-eye View of Lap­top Design

“A group of kids from one of our local ele­men­tary schools has formed a ‘mini-laptop club.’ They don’t use elec­tronic machines. Instead, these first-, sec­ond– and third-graders draw their own lap­tops on con­struc­tion paper and pre­tend to e-mail each other. They ded­i­cate a sur­pris­ing amount of time to this activ­ity. I once had a chance to exam­ine one of their ‘key­boards.’ I was fas­ci­nated to learn which Inter­net func­tions had sunk into the minds of these kids, who are just get­ting their first expo­sure to com­put­ers from watch­ing their par­ents work, and from using kid-friendly sites.”

The title of this post is a rhetor­i­cal ques­tion, as they’ll just be using mind con­trol for their infor­ma­tion devices any­way. :-p
