Toddlers' Favorite Toy: The iPhone

12 pointsby boctorover 14 years ago
Smartphones may mollify a fussy toddler, but does this new Toy of Choice inhibit a child’s development?

My 2 year-old is constantly asking to watch youtube videos on my iPhone but gets frustrated when she tries to grab the device and accidentally starts touching the screen and the home button. She doesn't get the connection.<p>Really, what I need is a 4" solid state video player with lockable buttons. Or I need to hack my iPhone to disable the home key and touchscreen.

I'm really excited that children are growing up in an age where direct manipulation interfaces are so mainstream.

So true. Every day when I come home from work my 2 year old runs up to me and asks to play on my phone. (Android in my case) She knows how swipe to unlock, open the apps and find her favorite game.

I'd never have expected so much technophobia from a NYT article...
