Why would you give an iPhone to your 2 year old?
- frossie 17y agoShe watches videos, "reads" books (scanned images of picture books), plays games, listens to music and practices "typing". It's now a spare, so it doesn't have a calling plan. So just like a video iPod really. I can tell you that multi-touch has been a lot easier to teach than mouse use.
- michaelneale 17y agoHave had the same experience with multi touch interfaces and my kids: they instantly get it. They drag things around, stretch, move etc... all without being told. Will be interesting to see what the future holds - perhaps the idea of a separate mouse to a screen will be seen as quaint one day. The funny thing is the mouse should be a a very basic instrument - its basically point and grunt. But the dexterity required for kids is a bit of a step - touch seems to make it even more intuitive.
