Technology in early education

Do you think technology being used in early education is a good thing or not?

After reading the article "Critical Issue:Promoting Technology Use in Schools", I have confirmed my ideas on the subject and found out that many other people share my concerns. I think that technology in the schools is a great idea as long as the children do not lose out on social interaction or peer mingling. The group interaction and socialization are important to the maturing of the child's development. Learning how to use the most modern technology at an early age will take some of the fear and uncertainty out of future generations.
