Toddlers TEXTING?

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/27/technology/personaltech/27basics.html?_r=2&hpw

I found this article written by the New York Times about young children and technology. This article points out the gadgets now available for toddlers, children as young as three, that resemble cellphones! Toddlers can learn about texting or use a gadget that looks like a cellphone. While many of these "toys" can't send or receive texts, children can type and do activities on it.

They also pointed out other cellphones available for elementary to high school that are being used. Many parents are using cellphones and texting as a reward for their children.

I don't agree with toddlers having interactive toys that include learning how to text. I think that there are many other educational toys out there that involved technology that may actually enhance a child's learning. I don't texting is a needed skill, at any age.
