subject: Learning on laptops [print this page] Using computers is part of education for children and young people these days and it is a truism that if you want to know how a piece of technology works you should ask someone under the age of 15.
However, there is a down side to children using computers and this is that the manual dexterity of young children is not very good, although it improves as they grow and develop. The implication of this is that young children and delicate computer equipment are not a good combination.
There are a number of computers designed especially for children but as every parent knows, the one you are using is so much more attractive than their own. Parental objections are overcome and you find yourself helping your child to use your own laptop.
This is where you discover just what laptop keyboards do not like. They don't like having their keys pounded hard, or the enter' key being pressed to within an inch of its life in order to speed up its function. Children are good at dropping odd bits, such as staples, paperclips and small toys, in inaccessible places and laptop keyboards are an ideal test area for this talent. Small fingers are often sticky and deposit gummy scraps down the sides of keys, so that as you type in one letter, you get two on your work.
Fortunately, there is an answer and it doesn't involve getting rid of your children. Here at Laptop Power UK we have a wide selection of keyboards for laptops that are compatible with all the leading brands of laptops, so you will be able to find the laptop keyboard that is suitable for your laptop. Once you have replaced your laptop keyboard, your only problem will be how to prevent the story from repeating itself.
