Yes I believe so. When my 2 year old knows how to maneuver the computer and phone better then I do....... Somethings backwards! Lol!

My daughter "Maddy" is 21 months & she seems to work my iPad better than me. Before computers & google (Back in the old days 😂) if you had a assignment & you needed more information you would have to go to the library. Now all you have to do is grab your computer or phone & search google. Us humans are more reliant on computers more than ever. That why sites like this are so popular because you are interacting with actual people.

My sister used to grab my phone when I was not around, call my fiancée and start talking in gibberish to her when she was 3. She's also called some of my friends at 3AM when she was 2. Let's just say I was a bit surprised when I realised she was prank calling everyone in my contacts list LOL.

Agree, leaving a mobile around is a dangerous thing with kids around. My IPhone is always finger print locked so only I can use it. I've heard stories of friends of mine kids seeing one of those "Adults Only" phone numbers & they have racked up hundreds of dollars on their mobiles.

Absolutely. There was a time we have to memorize everyone's phone number, now I only now 911.

My 9 and 12 yrs granddaughters were the first to set up my smartphone.

Computers have taken over every aspect of our lives.

Maybe.  I often wonder if all these new ways to "connect" actually distracts us from more meaningful interactions.

Or maybe I just get reminiscent about the good old days.  :)

Regardless, technology allows me to say:

Absolutely correct, I love what you did to Turbo. I'd love to change my Avatar to your picture but no idea how to. Maybe if I walk down the street & find a 6 year old they would probably know how to do it!!

Awesome!!! I'm flattered. :) It's just a silly app that came with my old iPad. It's not fancy, but it's fun!

Kind of funny that everyone here saying we're too dependent on computers are the one typing that on a computer keyboard....

Yes. My brother and sister-in-law are both high school teachers. Because kids have such easy access to answers without actually doing the work and actually learning, they have trouble reasoning simple things.
