Should kids have computers in their rooms?

My wife and I put our old computer in our daughter’s room. She is going to be 5 and the way I look at it, kids should know how to use a computer at a young age to prepare them for school. We plan to make use of parental blocks (for internet browsing) and have her play educational games on it. Even with the parental blocker she isn’t going to be using the computer unless my wife or I are in the room with her. I think if you monitor what your children are doing it shouldn’t be a problem. I don’t believe children should be sheltered either as this only builds their curiosity and can lead to much bigger problems down the road as well.
