Abstract
No abstract.

Argument
While noting strengths and weaknesses in Healy's book about the perception of teachers' and parents' view of children's use of computers, Loveless asserts that computers themselves are not the problem. Instead, she believes, bad pedagogy and indulgent parenting are the factors that need to be examined concerning children's use of technology.

Key Passages
"However, the word //computer// might be substituted by television, comics, toys, fashion or any number of other cultural artefacts in children's lives which are perceived to influence (negatively) social interaction with adults and peers."
