Now this is a scary article.... they're basically touching the surface of an enormous debate about when children should be introduced to computers, and if early exposure has long term benefit.

Apparently there are classes for 18-30 month old toddlers! We've hardly introduced our son to the television, never mind computer classes. Yes, he likes watching us play certain fun games for about 3 minutes at a time, but having lessons - that's crazy. Yes, some might get their Computer Studies GCSE at 7, but in all honesty, where is the benefit of that?
