Apparently there's no such thing as too young when it comes to teaching kids about technology. Now available through Amazon will be the Vinci, a 7-inch tablet computer created especially for babies aged 0-4 years. Retailing at USD389.00, the Vinci is a comparable piece of tech that is both Android-based and features a real touch-screen. So what's the difference between a Vinci and an iPad? Supposedly, the Vinci is designed especially for the delicate bods of young babes, offering parents peace of mind in terms of both physical safety and content. It has a protective handle with soft, rounded corners created using the safest, non-toxic materials and the tablet can be parent-programmed, giving mom and dad the ability to control what their kids are seeing on the screen. But non-toxic or not, do we really think that exposing our children to tech and media at such a young age is such a great idea? Whatever happened to good old storytelling and imagination?
Would you buy a Vinci for your little one?
A - Yes - this could be a great learning tool~!
B - No way - this is too much tech too soon~!
