So, children are more important in feeling worthy, deserving, and empowered to assert their own needs and desires. The Internet is also producing more engaging children because they have the ability to be more absorbed in acquiring knowledge than traditional textbook learning can provide (Wilson and Dr. James Bower, 2011). Another important skill learned thanks to the Internet is cognitive skills: these skills are associated with thinking and knowledge and are necessary for children to understand language and numbers, reason and solve problems, as well as learn and remember. Although the term “cognitive skills” encompasses a broad range of skills, research on the effects of computer use on cognitive skills has focused on the development of a specific set of visual intelligence skills crucial to the use of computer technology: spatial, iconic (or image representation) skills and visual attention skills. Computer applications of many types, and especially computer games, are designed to emphasize the processing of visual rather than verbal information. Consider popular action games with their fast movements, visuals and intense interaction, as well as various activities taking place simultaneously in different positions on the screen. Studies indicate that children who play these games can improve their visual intelligence skills, skills that may provide them with “training wheels” for computer literacy in the future (Greenfield, 2000). Therefore, when children need to learn something new, the Internet also helps to supplement it through the use of videos, digital images, and audio and tactile mechanisms.
