When we can’t innovate fast enough

Little Ro loves the iPAD. It plays music, it provides little learning games for numbers and letters, makes sounds and he can carry it around.
He’s so in love with the device, because he knows how to operate it – it’s made for babies. You point with your finger to what you want and it magically happens.
It’s a lot of fun to watch him operating it – he’s very pleased with himself.
He then takes this experience to the laptop – watches the same movies, but can’t operate the controls quite yet – a touchpad controlling a mouse pointer is too complicated.
Next comes the TV. Nothing happens wherever he touches that shiny TV – “It’s broken, Daddy!”
We haven’t created touch screen controlled TV’s – yet.

  1. We still haven’t gotten one yet. Multiple people have told me how much toddlers love them. Do you limit his time on how much he uses it each day?

  2. Yes, but not very rigorously, yet. But I’m intending to not let him be in front of laptop and iPAD for more than 20min a day combined. No TV. He’s probably doing 10-15 right now.
    So far there are enough other interesting distractions to keep him happy for the most part.
    TX heat is back – 100F days and lots of water …
