Children learn to use computers rather than bicycles



This according to a recent survey to 2,200 parents from different countries which include USA, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. There was no Latin American country. The survey was conducted by security company AVG online.

According to their findings, children of this age learn certain computer skills even before other traditional activities such as cycling or swimming. In summary, the results are:


  • 69% of children aged 2 to 5 years old can operate a mouse computer
  • 58% can play certain types of computer games
  • 28% can make a cell phone call from a 25%
  • can open a browser on your computer and 19% can use an application of some kind



skills course varied according to the complexity of the task that they were put.


While in this same age range, 77% can be completed puzzle games, 52% can ride bicycle, 20% and 11% can swim can tie their laces of his shoes alone.


information not found in Spain or Latin America, but I think it is an excellent area of \u200b\u200bresearch.

Like all measurable skills in children, this represents a classic bell curve with percentiles predictable, most likely as in the classic neurodevelopmental tests. I think

neurodevelopmental specialists will have to start putting these skills into their tests obviously vary according to the opportunities that are presented to children. In Mexico, as are large disparities opportunity, not the same apply these surveys to different socio-economic strata.
