One in four Japanese want iPads (or PCs) for iNfants

Do you think that infant education using PCs, tablets, etc is necessary? graph of japanese statisticsjapan.internet.com recently reported on a survey by goo Research into IT-assisted infant education.

Demographics

Between the 20th and 22nd of August 2012 1,083 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 52.7% of the sample were male, 16.3% in their teens, 17.7% in their twenties, 21.1% in their thirties, 16.1% in their forties, 16.1% in their fifties, and 12.7% aged sixty or older.

Although I do think that it may be possible to use IT equipment usefully in infant lessons and in homes with pre-school children, I worry that it just becomes a pacifier for the kids, and that by not using their hands to make tangible things they will be missing out on an important part of their development.
