STUDY: Computers Make Kids Dumb

According to a new study from England, computers actually make kids dumb.

Researchers took a look at 100,000 students in 31 countries around the world and found that being able to use a computer was no more valuable than being able to use a telephone.

"Holding other family characteristics constant, students perform significantly worse if they have computers at home," the study authors concluded. "By contrast, children with access to 500 books in their homes performed better."  Source: The Register
