According to The Independent newspaper, Google are set to bring out an addition to YouTube's existing app. The Youtube for Kids app will allow parents to trust what their children are watching and put a limit on the time their allowed to watch the videos. The app will originally only be available to download on Android phones and tablets which may limit the potential of the app.
Although this is obviously better than kids watching unsuitable videos on YouTube, it still brings forward the fact that children are sitting on adults gadgets watching videos rather than playing with toys. This shows a clear trend for Children, and how much times are changing in terms of kids interests and hobbies. I think its a shame that kids are being brought up with electronic gadgets designed for adults rather than the classic toys we all grew up with.
