Re: Personal Experience
Aside from the social factors, I'm wondering how so much use of small screens will effect kids physically as well. The ergonomics of a laptop are probably better than a phone screen.

@batye:

There is no doubt about it. Acquiring any type of skills at an early age would help them have a solid foundation and that would help them to survive well in the extreme competitive world that we are in.

Re: Personal Experience
@faryl:

Thta is the exact challenge that almost all parents are facing these days. At one end it really gets frustrating to watch kids glued to cell phones all the time. On the other end they just need the phone to check their school related things. I still would prefer my son using his laptop for his academic related stuff rather than using his phone.

@vnewman:

Absolutely !

Early introduction of computer technology to kids would surely give parents an opportunity to notice natural talent as well as interest. But only very few will end up retaining that skill as they grow over the years.

My son use to be a chess genius, he won his very first K-3 grade level championship in a tournment when he was just 5. He reached to the point where he won state level. Now he is in highschool and completely got sidetracked from chess and got into basketball. I am sure he must still have chess inside but doesn't play anymore.

Yup, it indeed is unfortunate but that is the sad truth out there.

You shared good information about how things work at Deloitte. Getting to know about cultutal logistics about the teams that we need to interact would help a great deal.

Re: Generation Z
@ms.akkineni It's a shame that globalization hasn't seemed to necessarily bridged cultural gaps that well. When I worked for Deloitte, they spent time discussing cultural differences & customs to be aware of prior to working with a team from a different country. Sometimes the smallest detail makes a world (pardon the pun) of difference.

Re: Personal Experience
@dcawrey They've also not experienced having access to information limited by time of day or location. The concept of needing physical access to a library to research an assignment (and having to plan around its hours of operation) seems practically antiquated now.

Re: Personal Experience
@elizabethv It strikes me that limiting use of technology is probably a tougher & tougher balance for parents to find. It's one thing to limit a kid's time watching TV or playing games, but technology is such a key part of being able to do even schoolwork these days. My friends don't even like to take away or limit their kid's cell phone use because then it just makes it harder for them to be able to keep tabs on them.

Re: Generation Z
@vnewman - They are starting to get kids started with coding a lot younger now. It's actually one of the reasons we picked the school my kindergartner is starting next week - they offer coding, even minimally to kindergartners. And there is a club in the school that kids can get involved in for coding as well. It worries me that they are going to saturate the market with potential coders down the road though.

Re: Generation Z
@Ms. Akkineni - I'm guessing that the camps find ways to translate the concepts into a cause-effect type of game and that the kids who have a propensity toward understanding it should join "Future Coders of America." (if there is such a thing).

But in all seriousness it could help parents spot and develop any natural talent their kiddo has.
