In today’s world, computers are familiar unavoidable in the daily lives of children and adolescents with a wide range of tools for learning and entertainment. Although studies have shown that boys are more heavy computer users and Web sites visited more often than girls, no differences between men and women began to chat, e -mail, or at home on the computer. In addition, both boys and girls have expressed the same confidence in their computer skills. Average parents feel that their school children and young people use the computer for about 1.5 hours per day. Computers, electronic games and toys, and technology in general a great influence and affect the lives of children. Technology has proven more than able to enrich the lives of children, particularly in education and social learning and development.

Computers, for example, are rich cognitive and social. Children as young as 3 years, the computer and are able to type simple commands on a standard keyboard. In addition, classrooms, often in small groups gather around the machine, and children often work together when working with the computer instead of using paper and pencil traditional methods.

Once children begin to read and write (literacy), they can use computers for word processing. This allows them, without difficulty with the hand, and they can revise the text for meaning and style, and check its spelling. Consequently, children are often less to worry about making mistakes and their written products ultimately more and better quality.

Specially designed to introduce children to programming languages. With adult support, children with the efforts of the programming can lead to better training concept, problem solving and creativity. In addition, if children must identify errors in their programs to run on the programming for help in thinking about their processes. This will inevitably lead to a profit in the meta-cognitive knowledge and self-regulation. During the program, children are particularly likely to work in order to meet the challenge and demonstrate a positive attitude toward learning. This is consistent with Vygotsky’s theory to show that social interaction of children difficult tasks of the control computer is adapted to promote a wide range of higher cognitive processes.

Children and adolescents spend much time using computers only for entertainment purposes. Many computer games and focus on speed, sometimes violent action in areas where children previously by shooting enemies and evading. Children are also more experimental and complex adventure games with themes of conquest and aggression and sports games. This is football and soccer. Children also enjoy simulation games, such as the creation and care for virtual pets (which focus on “live”), the introduction of virtual reality (such as an ecosystem where the player transfer of plants and animals into new species) and the characters role-playing.

The speed and action games and cultivate attention spatial skills in boys and girls. While providing opportunities for learning, broad view of risk simulation games can blur the distinction between the virtual and real life.

Many young people use computers to communicate. Although the use of the Internet a number of possible reasons for the cause of withdrawal from real life, it includes a great value in allowing users to acquire computer skills, information and communication possible.
