This video has been circling the web the last few days… a young girl is frenetically working an iPad supposedly for the first time. She never pauses on anything for more than a split second. What do you think? Does this frighten or excite you?
I agree with you Son... I also like the attention given to her by the adult, very constructive when it is an activity accompanied with a tutor, that vid shows, from my opinion, an awesome moment of constructive relationship father/daughter. If the Ipad can procure moments like that its definitely a plus!

It is definately amazing that technology today can be used by a two year old.
and of course she won't stay focused on anything for more than 2seconds, this is a typical behavior for a 2year old.
it is right to be concerned about shall we let kids play with technology or not and to what extend. definitely not right to let your kid spend all its play time with toys like this or TV. but if used with care, i think it can add to their experiences.
she looks happy and excited with the "new toy" but I am sure like any other new toy , after a week or two it wont be that exciting

There is space and necessity for both gardens with soil and plants AND virtual gardens. The iPad really is that easy to use, and is a great learning tool for children in today's world.

When you observe adults using technology, they often shift just as frenetically between programs and applications, so I don't know why we should expect children to be any different. I think technology may be making our attention spans shorter in general, and is definitely changing the way we process information, but we cannot dismiss it as categorically harmful. It just depends, like everything, on the extent to which we allow it to consume our lives.

sorry, this sounds like a fake. take a look when the little girl goes into an app for the first time. right after she finishes her little drawing, she clicks the button to return to home screen without much hesitation. how does she know that the big button returns her to home screen when her entire focus was on the drawing that she was making? Not only that, she also seems to have the concept of the flipping pages pretty down. not only that, how does she know the interface of the iphone/ipad OS? when she goes into the multiple apps, she already seems to know that the bottom corner and the top corner will have buttons that you can press. especially with the cat app, she presses it right after she realizes that she made a mistake and was supposed to press the cat instead.
