Ask HN: Lets make computers meaningful for kids
1 point by mapster on Feb 8, 2014 | hide | past | favorite
I'll wager 99% of computers (laptops, desktop) purchased as a gift for a kid (<13) as a general purpose computer is in quick measure a youtube and game platform. what a waste.

Equally, most parents really are too busy to 'configure' the computer, other than bookmark some education websites.

What is needed is for me to sell a package of apps and settings to a parent they d/l and install. each package is tailored to their child's grade/interest/language. This is what the kid interacts with.

Would love 2 cents as well as 5 dollar feedback on this.
