There will always be the slow booting computer. It is just called my smart phone.
I thought that my Dad who lived from 1912 to 1996, saw alot of changes in "technology", but we are living in hyperspeed technology. In an article I just read it said children need time to daydream or we may be huring the very thought processes they need. http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2012/06/why-daydreaming-isnt-a-waste-of-time/ I truly do love the technology, although I always feel very behind. Let your children be bored, they will be better for it.
