WeakenDiff: Hard

Logic Breakdown

Passage Summary: One parent wants kids to learn computers early, but the other parent says it's a waste of time because technology changes so fast that everything they learn now will be out of date later.

Conclusion: Teaching computer skills to children now is not a pointless endeavor.

Reasoning: While specific technologies change, the underlying skills or benefits gained from early exposure may remain relevant into adulthood.

Analysis: Parent Q assumes that the only value in learning technology is the specific, literal application of current tools. To weaken this, Parent P needs to show that early exposure provides benefits that outlast the specific hardware or software. Look for an answer suggesting that early learning builds foundational skills or a 'technological literacy' that remains relevant even as specific languages and devices evolve.

4.

Which one of the following, if true, is the strongest logical counter parent P can make to parent Q's objection?

Correct Answer
C
C directly answers the objection: even if specific tools/languages become obsolete, the act of learning them increases children’s ability to interact with technology generally. That makes early instruction not pointless.
