I think its good to get children into IT as long as they dont make the computer their only objective in life.
When I have a family and have children I will let my children use the family PC for homework and also games and stuff, but I do think you have to limit the use for young children.
When they are older, then they can go where they want on it, but when you are young, I think there is definately a lot of stuff that needs a careful watch on, especially no the net.

Plus I think I'd want to encourage my children to do sports and other activities like music that get them out the house than sitting at a PC all day.
