Heck! We need the toddlers to get all sort of gadgets. For people who got to see a computer when all grown up and being able to make a livelihood using the gadgets not wanting the kids to be introduced to these gadgets is unfathomable.
Unfathomable, eh? You've missed it again. By a couple of light years. Where did you get the idea that nobody wants kids to have the gadgets? I want all kids, everywhere, to have all things. But, first, I want to see them fed, healthy, clothed, sheltered, etc.
Let me try, again, and point out a few things.
Not too long ago, none other than
His Excellency President U. Kenyatta sent an "urgent plea" to the "international community" for food for Kenyans. That---Kenyans begging for food---was "routine". Supposedly it was because rains had failed, as if it was the first time that had happened. Yet the annual spending on the laptops for toddlers far exceeds what goes in for all of irrigation and water for the entire country.
Something like 20-25% of Kenyan kids under five will suffer permanent damage (stunting) to their bodies and brains because of poor nutrition. Many more will not survive because of small, easily preventable diseases. Yet instead of focusing on feeding them and ensuring that they are healthy, it is gadgets that are considered a big deal. What kind of idiot buys his kids fancy gadgets and then goes off to beg to get them food?
Kenya talks about industrialization, but apparently that is to be done by people who have B.A.s in humanities from "universities" atop shopping malls. How do I know that? From noting that, for example, the spending on laptops for toddlers is three times what is being spent on TVET.

Are you starting to get the idea?
