Importance of computers in children's lives Man has invented new inventions every day. From the beginning, people have invented. Homo habilis starts with inventing tools and weapons so that he can survive. These inventions have never stopped, and every day new things, cars, computers, even spacecraft are invented. In order to keep our daily life as simple as possible to survive, we came to invent something like a computer. In today's society, computers are a very important part of our lives.
The introduction of computers and the Internet had a great impact on the lives of our children. Today, computers are becoming very popular, and almost all children can access the computer. Through this widespread use, children are connected to computers and are used in homes, schools, nurseries or other environments. Since computers now play an important role in the development of children, the traditional learning style has changed. Many people wonder if this is a good thing or a bad thing. As computers become increasingly important in our children's lives, it is important to ask them what effects they have.
Digital technology and computers are an integral part of the daily lives of many children. Therefore it is important that infant educators not only are familiar with how to use computer technology but also be able to teach children how to understand and use them (Morrison, 2009). In agreement with Morrison, Wedel (2001) also claimed that the teacher needed to instruct the children to learn to better understand and interpret the technology (page 5). Haugland & Wright (1997) argues that without training it is difficult for a teacher to master the expertise needed to successfully integrate computers into the curriculum.
Importance of education In the field of early childhood education, computers have great potential for children and teachers. In addition, studies have confirmed that children's developmental benefits by using appropriate software are much greater when computers are located in the classroom rather than computer laboratories (Davis & Shade, 1999). However, the success of computers depends primarily on how they are used. In particular, the possibility of computer adverse effects on children's social skills is often controversial (Barnes & Hill, 1983), as computers are often used isolated by each child. The use of computers in the classroom directly affects the ability to support development. According to the survey, children value coworkers
