This document discusses the increasing role of technology in early childhood education. It notes that almost all preschools now have computers and that technology use can enhance learning when developmentally appropriate. However, it also raises concerns that young children on average spend over 7 hours per day interacting with technology unrelated to school. Excessive technology use may replace valuable learning experiences involving touch, smell, and social interaction. The document advocates ensuring technology does not become a distraction or overtake other important aspects of child development.
