However, to not include technologies in these formative years, puts children
at a serious disadvantage.

Just FYI.  There is so much technology for infants on up.  There are 
interactive electronic jumpers, bouncers, ceeling projecters, crib mobiles, 
car seat entertainers, rockers, tummy time gyms, etc.  And that is just the 
12 months and under crowd.  There are so many technologies for toddlers. 
Some are valuable, some are stunting and unneccessary, some could go either 
way, depending on how they are used and presented.  It runs a range.  But to

say that all technology is bad is short sighted and close minded.  To say 
that all technology is benificial is ignorant and limited.  There is always 
a balance.  For fun, if you are ever bored, go check out a toy store and you

will be surprised at the technologies you find there.
