It's great! Pay no attention to the dousche that said "This, for example, means kids growing up who don't use Google -- who don't have basic proficiency with the Internet. That's awful."

Pay no attention to the purely ad hominem argument against that person's comment, either.
It's a valid point: to learn to use the Internet, you actually have to use the Internet. Using this program will only teach you how to use this program, much as a video game console won't quite teach you to use a computer.
However, the target market is too young to really need to learn any sort of skills. Save it for when they can flash the BIOS to boot from a Live CD...
