Tablets

Just to digress slightly, is there such a thing as an Android tablet with a HDMI out socket?

My daughter loves reading books on the Kindle app on my tablet.

As others have said, it's a balance. I loved playing on my Commodore 64 when I was a lad, there's no difference. Yes just sitting in front of a tablet or Disney TV all day is not a great way to bring up a child. But I'm not sure anyone is advocating that. It's not a case of kids either relive the adventures of the Famous 5 with lashings of ginger beer or they sit playing GTA for 7 hours a day, there is a compromise.

But getting a familiarity with computers and technology is a very useful skill to pick up. And being computer literate or be able to do basic coding will be a lot more useful than being able to do joined up writing when primary school kids get into the world of work.

I agree that there is room for the computer in a child's development and your point of compromise or balance is a good one. However, I do despair at the way so many young people use these devices and especially smart phones that seem to govern their every minute.

Thanks mate, I'm a complete dufus when it comes to tablet specs, essentially I just want something to run maybe Mobdro or other streaming apps and connect it to my tv via hdmi.

You should be able to buy an adapter for most tablets. For example here's one for the nexus 10 I have http://www.cables2u.co.uk/micro-hdm...VI7vW0gdvjG1U4xFCaAk8WUZgf3cisV448aAvB68P8HAQ

And I am pretty sure you can get them for virtually any tablet, just type xxxxx to hdmi into google, where xxxxx is the name of the tablet. Not some porn channel
