I guess the question is what is a hacker and who is a hacker. And who gets to define what is and isn't hacking. I know very few Lawyers with enough computer knowledge to create a law like this. And all of them have enough knowledge to know how dangerous a law like this is and therefore wouldn't create it.
we are all different people and things effect us in different ways. If you take the "average" child a computer will benefit them and it will do them harm. Peope aren't affected in the same way 100% of the time. Sometimes the computer furstrates you and sometimes it enthralls you and as an overall experience it is usually beneficial if you like it and harmfull if you don't.They should provide a curriculum that isn't dependent on computers or teachers for learning. It should be able to teach a child in both ways.
