simplified browsing = google search engine
i've seen 7 years olds using it with incredible ease finding what they want
"and small children don't want the full web; they want to communicate and share pictures and look things up"
Shouldn't they call it simplified communication or simplified file sharing if thats what they mean? I think simplified browsing refers to something else.
Concerning communication, there are already some successful social networks just for children that prevent sharing of personal information.
"communicate and share pictures and look things up"
Also that phrase pretty much sums up the average usage of the internet for any age, not just children.
