Informatics as an environment for child development and introduction to modern mathematics

Traditional school has good primary goals of development child communication and reasoning abilities. In the real school all these primary goals become secondary. The school has to train the child technical skills first to proceed further. The society of information age needs the primary goals of development to be really implemented and does not need technical skills first. Informatics is a new discipline. It can be used for formulation of interesting, simple and complex problems to solve, development of formal reasoning skills. In the paper we outline a version of the informatics universe. It is the world of abstract objects strongly supported by its visual and palpable representation (including computer virtual microworlds). There are many obstacles for implementation of the expressed vision. One of them will become harder: danger of losing some skills considered essential by the previous generations.
