That is really wild. In our household we do not let our kids use the computer. I figured that I didn't really do much with computers until high school and I turned out alright.
My son is entering 1st grade and reads at a 5th grade level--which I think is a far more important skill than keyboard literacy (at this point).
His school does have computer class, and the work he would bring home from kindergarten showed that he wasn't all that savvy --but again, this wasn't a real concern.
So, although my child cannot do all these things, I think that there are other skills that are more important than being computer literate at six years old.
