The Asus MeMo tablet has become part of our life now. We’ve had it only for a short time, a little over a month now, but it has completely replaced the way m daughter listens to music each night. We used to have an old iPod Touch and a radio with a dock for it, then the dock stopped working so we would play it through the auxiliary jack, this added another wire and another charging plug to the room. Now we are back to one wire that charges and powers the tablet. Now with a slim new one of the Intel Tablets Eva can easily start her music each night before she goes to sleep.

The tablet is also a source for other entertainment as well. When the kids couldn’t decide upon a show to watch the other night Eva let Andrew have his choice and said that she could watch her choice on her tablet. she went up and got her tablet and brought it down to watch a show on Disney Channel through the app on the tablet. Crisis and a lot of crying diverted. Plus, she didn’t stay up in her room to watch it so she was still with the family.

Eva has also been using her tablet to write stories, take photos and work on a fashion app from Crayola. She can draw in her fashion book, take an image of her designs and see 3D models wearing those designs. I love how she can use her creativity with her technology.

Long car trips have been better overall because when Eva gets bored with the drive she has the independence to entertain herself with music, drawing, or games. I enjoy that because I don’t get melted crayons in the car.

The most important thing that this tablet has added to our lives is a platform that both Eva and I can use together to cultivate her curiosity in technology and not a reliance on it. I am convinced that with parental guidance our children will have an advantage because they can use and understand technology. That starts with technology which they have ownership of. Also, with so many games and apps being integrated with tablets she won’t miss out on something amazing.

I decided to give the tablet to one very creative person, my daughter. This was her graduation from Kindergarten gift. Yes, a tablet for a seven year old. There is so much that she can do with it.
