Well not all toys will be liked by all kids. Being 28, I come from one of the first generations to grow up with computers. My life would have been much different without the software I had growing up, no question.

One of the interesting things with tablets is I believe we are seeing more kids and parents playing together with software. In my day, my parents were afraid of the computer. The goal isn't always to entertain the child unsupervised.

Regardless, it would be a shame to see the shady practices of some businesses sabotage this chance for this batch of youngsters.
