There is a growing trend for Information Technology Equipment to be marketed with children as
a primary or secondary intended user group. Low-priced notebook/laptop computers aimed at
children, including children in developing nations, are examples of the trend.
What are the appropriate requirements for such ITE marketed with children as an intended user
group?
