It is nothing new to anyone that the contact of children with technology is getting earlier. It's common to see children playing with smartphones or tablets around. YouTube also knows that and cares about the content these kids can access.
That is why today (23) the YouTube released the app for "kids" smartphones and tablets. This free app filters the results, indicating videos by age group and content, preventing children from having contact with videos that are inappropriate for their age. In addition, YouTube Kids has a selection mechanism for educational videos, encouraging learning with entertainment to the little ones.

The bad news is that the app will only be available at this first moment in the United States as a testing phase and, according to the company, depends on public acceptance so that it is expanded to the other countries.
