Large Language Models Will Change The Way Children Think About Technology And Impact Every Interaction Paradigm
This work addresses the potential transformative impact of LLMs on children's education and technology use, though it is more speculative and incremental in nature.
The paper argues that Large Language Models will significantly alter children's learning and technology interaction expectations, presenting a scenario and study to illustrate upcoming changes and outlining five key considerations for future interactive system design.
This paper presents a hopeful perspective on the potentially dramatic impacts of Large Language Models on how we children learn and how they will expect to interact with technology. We review the effects of LLMs on education so far, and make the case that these effects are minor compared to the upcoming changes that are occurring. We present a small scenario and self-ethnographic study demonstrating the effects of these changes, and define five significant considerations that interactive systems designers will have to accommodate in the future.
