Check out my girl on her Ipad. For a 17 month old, that's pretty top notch!

What an awesome thing to say about a child

1/11/2011 7:29:46 AM

there is a 9 page TWW babies thread.

a new thread just for your kid was not necessary.

I could show off here about what my daughter can do now (22 months) or a few months ago, but I am not going to .

Haha, her reaction is so cute in the 2nd video

It kind of blows my mind that these kids are going to grow up with all this technology as a given and total second nature, knowing nothing else.

We can be the old geezers telling them how hard it was to write a report before there was the Google.

^ True.

My nephew asked his father (my bro) some question about animals, and when my brother said he didn't know the answer, his son said to him "why don't you Google or Wikipedia it?!"

I remember when I had to use an encyclopedia to get information on stuff I didn't know about

1/11/2011 10:01:05 PM

I used to plagiarize the encyclopedia, but it was an '83 Funk & Wagnall's, so no one noticed.

1/11/2011 11:00:17 PM

I remember hitting up the ~1987 hard copy set of encyclopedias we had when I was a kid and was writing reports. It was hard to get them to accept the digital copy of the encyclopedia we had on CD-Rom when I was a kid, too.

Hopefully my kids will be better at writing than I am. The internet just makes it so easy to bullshit reports, though.

I will say I am impressed. I didn't know kids were that capable at less than 1.5 years.

Teach her to code at 24 months.

haha i remember using Microsoft Encarta '94 to write reports in middle school

^^ Kids are like a sponge. I believe that every child (unless born retarded) has the potential to become a near-genius to a genius. It all depends on the environment, upbringing, and nutrition. It depends a lot more on those factors than it does on genetics, for most people. And this has been shown in studies as well, done on kids of poor uneducated children in urban areas of the US, as well as studies on orphans on Eastern Europe.

They can and do learn anything you can throw at them, ranging from languages to abstract/logical concepts to art to sports to gadgets.

[But please don't throw gadgets at them ]

I too, didn't know kids were that capable at less than 1.5 years. I only found out after having a child myself.
