That is a very limited and even passive view of interactivity. The thing that is so exciting about the Web is that it's not centralized, it's not passive, it's not pushed at you. You have a choice. People who use the Web primarily for work and not for play are less likely to experience flow while using the Web. These people see it more as a tool.
Children have no fear of the computer.
What's particularly fascinating is that children are completely uninterested in computer manuals. Children just sit down and see how it goes. If trying one thing doesn't work, they try something else. That's a very different way of approaching technology, one that will have fascinating effects on the next generation in ways we can't even begin to predict. Copyright 1998 Geirland and Sonesh-Kedar.
