chromodynamicsMost days it seems like my kids' childhoods are for the most part very similar to my own. But every now and then...
On the way to taking her to school, my 4 year old daughter and I passed under a small underpass.
A: Look at all the rocks! (looking up at the road above us) I wonder how they got that there?
Me: Oh, I guess they had a crane do it.
A: Where did they get a crane?
Me: They just have them.
A: Oh, probably from crane.com.

I actually had similar thoughts last night watching Monkey watch Dora on my laptop. She's only two and already has a rudimentary understanding of how the keys and touchpad work. And, earlier this week I let her play around with my tablet and scribble 'pictures'.
It's just amazing, really, there was no such thing as home computers when we grew up - and look what our children are exposed to!
