Is that what you meant earlier when you said children shouldn't be allowed on computers at age 5? If so I question your word choice.

English is not my mother tongue, so yeah my word choice may be bad. But I said that children shouldn't be allowed alone on computers before 6. Not only PCs, but all kinds of computers: PCs, smartphones, tablets, consoles, … However, for short periods of time and accompanied by an adult, they can use a computer.
