MacGregor Campbell of NewScientist writes re: the video of the 2.5 year old girl playing with an iPad:
She will grow up in a world in which screens that don’t react to touch seem broken, and devices that cannot be anything at any time to anybody will be annoying at best. She will expect virtual objects to behave as instantaneously and intuitively as their physical equivalents. This blurred distinction between real and virtual could very well seem like magic, but could equally probably become the new “normal”.
Really?
