I am a father of 2 year old. I did not experience being a parent before iPad arrived but I suspect it changed the parenthood completely. These days I see all kids of all ages interacting with tablets. My son started using one before he was 1 year old, now he is experienced user, able to start, launch games he likes and videos he wants to see on youtube. Its so powerful as it is scary. Everyone from parents is scared what it will do to kids. Parents are split on this, I embrace it (because its so easy to have a break from hyperactive son) but some fight it furiously and swear by it. How many parents are there in the world, how many kids are there? Is there a way for Apple to serve this market better?
I'm in the same boat, my tablet gets most use from my son. For kids it's a great hing. Before reading age, though - once he can read he'll get a proper computer and I'll teach him programming...
We have infants using computers more powerful than could even be imagined when their grandparents were born.
This is just the beginning.
How long until neural implants are installed at birth, the difference between man and machine is undefinable, and life is experienced as much in the 'real' world as it is in the virtual one?
There are already many successful projects allowing the blind to see and the paralyzed to walk with neural implants.
