- How Will the Apple Tablet Change Our Kids’ Lives?
-
GeekDad’s resident GeekMom, Jenny Williams – on Apple’s revolutionary new iPad, and what it means for our kids:
The possibilities are really endless, limited only by our imaginations. We shall see how the tablet really affects us, but children will instantly invite this technology into their lives. Watch how they use it, and you’ll learn new areas to develop. Inevitably, children invent new ways to use technology, so pay attention. You might learn something.
I can’t help but think that we’ve gotten one huge step closer to a glorious “Star Trek”-like future – and I’d be so excited to be a kid today, amid all of it. Sure, it can scare us all, and as adults and parents, we might not know how to react to new technologies like this. But as in “Star Trek,” humanity always adapts, and usually ends up the better for it. You just have have some trust in the future – and in our own and our kids’ limitless capacity to boldly meet that future.
