摘要： A computer system for providing a simulated computer environment for young children. A console is coupled to a display, e.g., a television set, for storing and processing a plurality of user selectable programs. User selectable program may be stored on a cartridge and received by the console. The user selectable programs are child oriented, educational, interactive and provide feedback responsive to user interaction. A theme-able wireless keyboard adapted for use by young children with keys larger in size than an adult keyboard is coupled with the console, e.g., infrared. The keyboard excludes a subset of adult oriented function and punctuation keys. A theme-able mouse and a mouse pad that is detachably couple to either the left or the right side of the keyboard may be included. An animated character in a GUI and in the programs interacts, gives user instruction and is the focus of reward in reward oriented programs.
