Dora the Explorer: Training the Young Cyborg

Back, after a long interlude of finals!!

So, after we give birth to our wonderfully organic child, how do we first acquaint him or her with the wonders of the interwebs?  Technology does not come naturally to small ones, though they do learn fast.  How can we train them to relate the movement of the cursor to the movement of hands, and thus familiarize our children with the concept of becoming a cyborg?

We parents may not think of all this stuff while we're trying to save the walls from being crayoned on and trying to get the green stuff eaten as much as the white and yellow stuff.  Nick Jr. on the other hand, has, and presents it to our offspring in the form of Dora the Explorer multiple times a day.

After a brief amount of research, I have been unable to find any evidence that Dora the Explorer started its life as a computer game, though I remember hearing that it did at some point.  Must have been an internet rumor.  Regardless, the opening sequence to the first two season consists of a camera panning a room, and eventually focusing in on a computer, where Dora and her friends are interacting in a computer game:

Throughout the show, children are encouraged to interact with the TV show as though it's a computer.  When Dora or her Backpack encourages the children to point at something, a cursor-like arrow floats onto the screen and points and clicks on the right image:

Excellente!  Not only have our children mastered some basic Foreign Language skills, but they have also mastered some basic computer skills as well.
