Today’s Generation: Technobrainiacs?

I have just read a post on Jessica’s blog about a young girl, only two years of age, demonstrating just how technologically apt the children of this generation are. The vodcast shows the young girl using a mobile phone to text, take pictures and engage in functions which most of today’s older generation (sometimes known as technophobes) would find confronting and far too challenging to comprehend. I find it truly amazing that a young child, whose biggest challenge at this age should be toilet training, is able to make calls and use calendar entries on a highly technical phone. This just reflects the exposure children these days have to all types of technologies and should really reflect the way in which teachers, in particular, try to engage and educate them. I recommend taking a look at this vodcast, it is a real eye opener!
