ok so this weekend opened my eyes to the fact that even 5yrs olds can be teenagers in disguise.
Picture it lacombe 2010, a slow sunday morning with my on my computer and my daughter on hers. She has already shown great abilities with computers since she was 4 she could turn on the computer and open "the blue E" then use favorites to go to her websites (PBSkids, NICKJR, KIDSCBC ) so when we are doing kitchen stuff she comes in and starts watching videos or playing games on these sites. on the sunday in question she pops her head out with "daddy did you know that paleontologists have found fossilized dinosaur poop and it wasn't soft." ..... ok your 5, since when are 5 year olds knowing palentologists and using it correctly in sentences??? when asked about her new knowledge of dinosaur poop she told us she learned it from the internet. SHE IS ONE OF THEM.....digital learners! so its not just the teenager in your grade 10 class that we have to be watching for technology tendencies, APARENTLY ECS is a hotspot for multimodal, downloading of all things fecal (dinosaur poop) into my daughters brain..... i'm traumatized.

It's pretty scary to think of the amount of information she knows at just 5 yrs old. But that is the way the world rolls now... children know (and are expected to know) more and more at younger and younger ages.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I'm still kinda proud of our little palentologist-to-be!
HAHA that's awesome! It's totally true, though. My 4 yr old cousins know how to use computers better than my parents. It's a scary thought. What will the world be like 20 yrs from now. How will technology change and how will our youth adapt? Who knows? =/ eek.
