Within four minutes, one kid not only opened the box, found the on-off switch … powered it up. Within five days, they were using 47 apps per child, per day. Within two weeks, they were singing ABC songs in the village, and within five months, they had hacked Android,” Negroponte said. “Some idiot in our organization or in the Media Lab had disabled the camera, and they figured out the camera, and had hacked Android.” ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

javelina1 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 I bought a Samsung 7" tablet for my 15 month old grand daughter. (With a good rubberized outer shell). :) She does wonders navigating through it to find her favorite kid apps. Just incredible how quickly she learns...

Yurgon Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Amazing discovery! Totally reminds me of what Ken Robinson keeps saying.
StrongHarm Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 I evolved as a child in the 70s with the aid of television.. and I'm slightly flawed as a result (still go Aaaa! and hold my thumbs up sometimes.. thanks Fonze). How will the practical use of technology and Moore's Law be effected by a few generations of tech knowledge beginning during adolescent development? It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm
