Six years old might be too early to incentivize screen use, though I'd encourage you to research this yourself rather than taking internet comments at face value.

That said, I think there's a distinction between screens and computing itself. You could introduce her to computing power through voice interfaces: a smart speaker connected to an LLM could let her search, learn, and interact with information hands-free. You'd have control over the system prompts for safety, and could whitelist reliable sources for her queries.

Yes, visual information density is higher than audio, but the downsides of early screen exposure might outweigh that efficiency gain. Voice-first computing could be a middle ground, she gets to explore what computers can do without the attention/addiction patterns that screens introduce.

Just one perspective, obviously. Worth doing your own research on the developmental tradeoffs.
