I don't know if you've had much interaction with kids lately, but it's kind of strange seeing very young children, even toddlers manipulating these things. My cousin's kid is all of 3 and she knows how to use the iPad to watch whatever her shows are. Giving a kid that kind of control so early on in bound to have some sort of impact. That said, in my time as a language teacher, there were a few times I wish I had a length of hickory in the room with me just to give some of those kids that deserved it, a taste of the not-so-dearly-departed analog world.
