  1. I personally will start any kid I have on DOS... If s/he can handle that, and the software (including many excellent abandonware games) I include with it, s/he can handle anything. Build up through the various OSes, and result in starting C++ programming. Android will be the mobile OS of choice, as I know how to lock it down and secure it. I will deliberately infect the computers and phones with mild viruses to teach the kid how to handle them. I will also instill basic troubleshooting knowledge, and make it a requirement for the usage of any modern technology. Complaints? The kid can go without the tech. I have no qualms about depriving the kid of tech they aren't willing to learn. I will also be making Linux OS learning mandatory.

     

    Kid will get no internet access without permission, and my physical presence in the room to monitor. (until s/he has proven their worthiness to be unsupervised) The kid gets a virus, s/he has to clean it themselves. The only part I will have in it is the Windows/Linux install disc.

     

    The kid likes tech, great... The kid prefers not to use it, great... They get to be themselves, but they WILL know how to use a computer and 'smart' phone properly.

  2. Like the old light feature that would let you make the background dark.

    It's still there, just hidden... You need an addon to use it.
