The technology generation has just started. My daughter is 3 almost 4 years old and can already operate my wife’s’ ipod touch and both my smart phone and my computers. She can sit at a computer and guide her way to children games from my shortcut links. And she is only three. I keep imagining what more she will be able to do once she can read coherently. There will be no end to her mischief on a computer.
She already knows how to download apps and play the Wii. She has her own game console like a Wii and you can see her mind understanding that technology responds to her will already.
I was about 8 before I played on my first computer. It didn’t take me long to understand that my future is rooted in electronic technology. And it hasn’t taken my daughter long to figure out that my computers are too slow, even though they are top of the line products.
What is technology going to be like when she is my age? How is her schooling going to change to incorporate all the advances we have taken? I can only imagine and continue thinking that Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek and other “future” like shows is the path we are on.
