As children build on their early educational foundation, does new technology help or hinder their intelligence?

According to William Crossman, author, human-rights activist and educator of Golden Gate University,  studies actually prove that young people's intelligent quotients(IQ's) are actually increasing with increased options for accessing information. Emerging information technologies available to children today allow them to fully utilize all of their sensory, interactive and cognitive powers.
