Scarily Smart!

When i was really young, i was busy playing with soft toys only. Then i ventured into barbie dolls and choo-choo trains. As i grew older and was allowed to go out and play, it was sand, water, leaves while imagining i was cooking, bottle caps and ice-cream sticks with my cousins and sometimes even a blanket under the stairways imagining i was camping.

For many, those were our childhood.

I was having dinner yesterday with my baby sister. She is not a year and a half and is the most adorable baby ever. You want to know what she plays for her childhood? Not just any simple dolls or soft toys but...

...an ipad!!

Initially i thought she was just looking at the screen. But hey, little did i know babies today are just way smarter than we were. I mean i definitely will not even know what a computer is until i was 7 years old. The most high-tech-savvy-gadget i ever came across when i was her age must be only the TV! Yet now there she is, playing with an Ipad.

How smart are babies nowadays? Well my baby sister actually knew how to click into applications and looked for what interest her. She loaded the photos, click on the album she likes and looked through her pictures. All the time she was even flicking the screen left and right so she could go to the next photo. Plus, she even knew how to zoom in and out! Amazing isnt it??? The next thing i knew, she was pressing the home button and exit to the dashboard to load another application!

They are just too smart! Scarily smart! Imagine what she will be using when she is in her primary. A mac laptop on the go always??? Oh my god! Perhaps 10 years down the road a baby like her age might even know how to use the sms!
