It seems that kids are being born more and more technologically advanced. Born genius.  Technology seems to be something that they pick up naturally.  Things that my parents have a hard time with (such as the remote, computer, and sometimes even setting the clock on the microwave haha) my 5 year old can help them with and teach them how to use it.  So I wonder,
do you think it’s because kids are exposed to more technology at a younger age?  I remember Atari, and our first computer, Nintendo, and when Game boy came out as the first hand-held on the go gaming system it was the BOMB!  Now it seems as though you can’t find a children’s toy that’s not technical to some degree.  Is it a matter of parents using technology as a babysitter? Or just the fact that it’s more common and used by both parents and kids?
There is also the 100th Monkey theory- so basically this theory is based on a group of monkeys in a specific region that scientists would drop mango’s in the dirt for the monkeys.  One day a younger monkey took his mango to the river and washed it before eating it.  Soon after all the monkeys were washing their mango’s before eating them.  Then the remarkable thing happened…. monkeys that lived miles away started doing the same thing!!  The theory was that when a certain number (say 100) of monkeys had learned to wash their mango’s and increased the level of intelligence, it naturally increased the mental level of intelligence for other monkeys.  It was an energy and enlightenment increase affecting those they hadn’t even come in contact with.

Perhaps this 100th Monkey theory applies to children being born more and more technologically advanced.  Compared to previous generations- born genius!

Meanwhile I’m excited for the day when my kids or grand kids will be able to teleport to my house and show me how to work stuff!
