My Children Staring At And Smudging Their Fingers Across Touchscreens All Day Is Giving Them The Tools To Succeed In The Social Future
I didn't want to get my children Ipads, but I don't want my kids to grow up without the valuable experience of dicking around a slick gui all day to no purpose. Other kids will grow up exposed to technology, just like Bill Gates was. He had early access to computers- I want my children to have the same. Sure, my kids don't know a drat thing about how the devices they're using work, or how interfaces are designed, or how the products are marketed and sold, and they sure didn't earn the money to buy them. But giving my kid a way to idly send funny faces to other bored kids with a zero-effort caption like "bored at target" is the same thing as giving a kid access to the technology of the future. Just think- when they get hired they'll have thousands of friends on facebook to vouch for them! An employer will be able to get a sample of their whole life in one google search! This can't harm my kids, it's technology and technology is big business and that means its good.

Sure, some kids are out there writing code and taking apart old TV's and writing crappy poetry in cheap notebooks, but my kids are going to be the Gender-Diverse Bill O'Reilly's of the hyper-connected Social Workplace, where there's no boundaries between work and friendship. Other kids might help their parents with household tasks, or even help at a family business but mine are going to be focusing on what counts: whatever apple says the new way of doing things is.

I read HuffPo's political news section a lot and there is p much a 100% chance that one of the linked articles on the right side of the screen will be a variation on either "I found pictures on the Internet of a fat/ugly person in revealing clothing; here, look, this is them" or "<x celebrity> was seen in public being conventionally attractive and I am reporting on this for some reason while struggling to conceal my resentment of her", it's uncanny
