Do computers and broadband at home negatively effect learning of middle school students? This article from the NYT suggests that this happens. They look at three different studies; one in Romania, one in North Carolina and one in Texas. Here is a quote:
"The North Carolina study suggests the disconcerting possibility that home computers and Internet access have such a negative effect only on some groups and end up widening achievement gaps between socioeconomic groups."
What do you think?
