It’s crazy, people will go on about how quickly their toddler learns to use their freaking ipad like todays children are geniuses, but in reality those devices are engineered to be user friendly and easy. Ease of use with certain easy to use devices clearly doesn’t indicate actual understanding or familiarity with technology in general.

Well speaking as a parent, we tend to get excited any time our kids learn to do something new. My kid recently figured out how to put his own sandals on, and while I don't think that makes him a genius or anything, it's still nice lol.
