    One-Year-Old Tries to Work Magazine Like an iPad

    -- By Claudine Zap

    The Apple iPad. So easy to use, a child can do it. A magazine? Well, that proves to be more of a challenge -- at least for one very gadget-savvy baby girl.

    A video surfaced by CNET shows an adorable one-year-old working an iPad faster than most of us can think. But when the same techno-whiz kid is handed a magazine, the child of the iPhone age is lost.

    The video was posted by French father Jean-Louis Costanza, who has seen the future for his daughter: She thinks a magazine is a broken iPad. In the clip, the adorable child is traded an iPad for a magazine.

    The techno-baby patiently taps the printed page and pinches it as if it were a touch screen. But the magazine is nothing more than a useless piece of broken tech. Glossy photos of fashion models? Pages of text? What good are they if they aren't an app?

    Somewhere, Steve Jobs is laughing. Or, as dad Costanza put it, "Steve Jobs has coded a part of her OS."

      I know the parents should have raised their kids but,without computers,i-pads,and DSs,your kids would what spend their lives turning pages in books?They would choose reading over fun.Their would be sounds of pages turning instead of the sound from t.v.s and stuff.Dislike it or not,this is my idea.

      Don't blame Steve Jobs. Blame parents who raise their kids on I-Pads, computers, video games, and I-Phones!

      sad.....both my sons could turn the pages of their books and my magazine by the time they were 6mths

      Pretty sad. Apparently the parents do not have actual books for their child.

      The world of a toddler has been forever changed with the use of technology. The brain is being rewired. Steve Jobs mission completed !!!

      it didn't exactly show that she actually used the ipad. Kids point at everything the same way whether it's an ipad or mag.

      This is sick and modern day parenting is scary!!!

      Oh Mark you are so right...that poor thing in the clip will be dead from her parents lifestyle.

      DARNINJA............Right on!

      My opinion: it's not cute. humans are moving further away from reality. exposing yourself & your children to cell phones, microwaved food, electric blankets, florescent lighting, aspertame, hairdryers, mammograms, xrays...etc. is killing us & causing more cancer. get back to nature & have real relationships, not text ones.

      My baby has been playing with the iPad also he is 16 months old and can effectively play with the iPad, changes pages. Open apps, closes apps too. He has learned alot from the different apps out there. He can put puzzles together and play games! I've thought it was quite extraordinary that he can do this! I love this article,

      Who gives their infant child an ipad to play with o.0? Give her crayons and a colouring book, read to her. Its like buying your 10 year old a cell phone.
