Funny Story. Technology + Kids - Evolving Quickly
Last week a close friend brought home a new portable DVD player and asked her 5 year old daughter if she would like to have it to play with? She asked:
What does it do?
Mom: It allows you to put a dvd movie inside and watch them.
Can I download them off the internet and watch one?
No, you need to go to a store and rent or buy the DVD's.
Can I play games on it?
No.
Can I watch Netflix?
No.
Can I install apps on it?
No.
Can I get on the internet?
No.
No thanks Mom, I'll think I'll use the iPad.

It's amazing how children have grasped the technology, buzz words and are so open to it all. I remember 3 years ago that the portable DVD player was a must have, now with the iPad, iPhone, and Android devices have replaced them and DVD players/GameBoys are all most extinct.
When was the last time you used a DVD player?
