Eternity is a "Gedanken" digital arts project for children. It explores the usage and attitudes of children using computers for creative collaboration. Computers are providing a new way for children to be creative and new generations of artists will have different expectations.Generative software systems are emancipatory and this changes the way in which adults and children interact, as well as the human-computer interaction issues. Children actively seek collaboration and explore intelligent user interfaces with ease. Computers help us to think creatively (Edmonds, 2000).Barriers to the use of creative digital arts systems are more likely to be human and administrative than artistic. Children in the study were not open to Internet collaboration. The Internet is more of a database technology than a social technology.Providing chances for children to use computers for creative purposes can alter the perception that computers are simply efficiency tools, training people for the new factory work of data input and telephone call centre workers.
