For me, a laptop solely for my kids would be a luxury. I haven't bought one for my kids, nor would I unless I was in the position to have lots of money to blow. I didn't really analyze what the question was implying (that children should have laptops) but I do agree with you that does seem to be the point of the "question" (which we can all agree was a thinly disguised attempt at R&D.) I suppose I have a different outlook on this issue because I am very tuned in to how my kids use my laptop. They can't use it private, they only get an hour a day of "game time", so they need to choose between the computer and video games. I believe in the importance of teaching them how to use computers, and letting them be comfortable with them, yet I am going to be actively involved in that process.
Still, it would be nice to not have to share *my* computer with three kids :)
