• LeapFrog announces new substitute-parent reading system for kids | Tech news blog - CNET News.com
  As a geek, educator and parent I get asked all the time what of these type of products is the best for kids. None. Pick-up a book and read it with the kid. A computer without internet connection and an old-fashioned board game is best
