iPad baby baffled by paper magazine

Infant QA test result: 'This sucks'

Video Youth is not wasted on the young. But apparently paper is, and so are static and archaic publishing models that don't involve pinching and poking. This baby is so used to an iPad that old-fashioned dead-tree media is just baffling.

Somebody get this baby an Android tablet and some Arduino boards, tout de suite.

Tip of the hat to political blogger Matthew Yglesias for spotting this. ®

At current rates, none of our kids will have jobs by the time they enter the labour market, so they may as well start to learn how to piss away their time on gadgets as as possible.

Tired of playing with daddy's shiny iPad? There's a nap for that.

All babies do this with books & magazines (heck, even some grown men grope at magazines), it's just the tablet responds to those touches where as the paper does not. Interestingly enough, the magazines respond when she tries to turn the pages, but the tablet doesn't. That to me sounds like the death of tablets! Or not.

Nice bit of entertainment, poor bit of journalism. Should be filed under Bootnotes, not Hardware.

Bootee notes?

Well better than confusing them the other way around

E.g.

An iPad is a magazine that doesn't bend.

An iPad is a piece of paper that gets you smacked when you draw on it with crayons.
