Study Says Baby are More Tech-Efficient But Cannot Learn To Tie Shoes
I know of a lot of parents who have kids who are so familiar with technology even at such a young age. I have a friend whose 2 year old daughter could work the iPad like crazy. And she beats her mom because the mom can’t do squat on the gadget.
A recent study conducted by a security software company says that kids today are adapting very quickly to technology. Polled in five countries all over the world, the study also revealed that:
- Kids between 2 to 5 years old can use a smartphone, but will have great difficulty learning to tie their shoes.
- Smaller children know how to open a web browser and surf the internet than swim in the water.
- Children would rather play with the computer than go ride a bike.
- Kids in Europe are a lot more adept at using the mobile phone or working the computer than children in the United States.
Are you surprised or alarmed by these findings? Admittedly we live in a highly technology-based world now and we rely on gadgets for a whole lot of convenience. It’s no surprise that kids are picking up on these, because by the time they’re adults themselves, technology will be so highly advanced.
Learning early has its advantages and disadvantages. And the thing is, I think we all have to learn to adapt in the ways of the world in some ways…
