"With the advent of computers and web based learning, children leave behind toys at younger and younger age. It’s called KGOY-kids growing older younger, and many companies have suffered because of it, most recognizable is Mattel, the maker of Barbie dolls. In the 1990’s the average age of a child in their target market was 10 years old, and in 2000 it dropped to 3 years old. As children reach the age of four and five, old enough to play on the computer, they become less interested in toys and begin to desire electronics such as cell phones and video games."
I don't know how to react. Playing pretend, using you imagination, dolls, puppets, and building legos was big in my house. They don't mention playing sports. I suppose you use your imagination, learn and solve problems using technology. I have to mull this over.
