  • Kids these days, they are being exposed to to much technology and soon they wont even know how to flip a page.

  • 8/10 Perfect Video.

  • Just too cute! :-)

  • Meanwhile in 2011-・・

  • Nobody comment until JayZak 's comment gets enough thumbs up to be a top comment. He hit it right on the nose. And judging by the uploader comments UserExperiencesWorks seems to agree.

  • This person needs to be kicked in the head for giving her 1yr old an iPad.

  • weeehhhh... apple is looking for people to test and keep an iPad 3!

    Thumbs up if you already signed up to this site and get your free iPad 3: tiny .cc/freeiPad3 (Don't forget to remove the spaces in the link)

  • first of all, that is the cutest baby i've ever seen. now you can't blame steve for making an ipad, he didn't make it for babies you know, he made it for teens and adults, this video should be deleted. btw have a little respect for the man, he's dead.

  • @JayZak +1... thanks.

  • is there anybody who has got some sense of humour? she isn't blaming Steve Jobs for christ's sake, she's being ironic in a good way, I wonder why nobody understands that, at least from the top commentators..She isn't stating, that magazines are useless, that's a line supposed to be the child's, and how do you know, that the mother doesn't read her a book??? wake up

  • LIONMAK 1 you are sick

  • that is the saddest thing I have ever watched...

  • i hate kids .__.

  • wtf i just watched ?

  • Apple iPad 3 Public Giveaway! Heres the link: tiny(DOT)cc/2z3l3 Thumbs Up if you got a iPad!

  • Also, one could note that the only magazines the poor child had to choose from are "fluff" and beauty magazines which is likely a sampling of the type of material YOU read. Maybe if she saw you reading a book once in a while she would understand the concept. Also, there's something to be said for speaking to her level, meaning UMM, HELLO, try exposing her to something like "Goodnight Moon" or Dr. Seuss. I feel so sorry for this child because her parents were too stupid to try giving her a book.

  • TRY READING YOUR CHILD A BOOK!! My daughter has also grown up around technology, but she has never confused a book/magazine for anything other than what it is, because she was exposed to books regularly. YOU are in charge of your child's "OS" -- not some corporate entity. The line that "magazines are useless" is obviously YOUR opinion, as I highly doubt your child has been exposed to enough to form an opinion and that is the real tragedy of this clip.

  • I think children will work with whatever technology we expose them to. We have to stop blaming others our mistakes. You want your child to not rely on technology then don't expose them to it. Read them a book. Have them play outside instead of indoors playing a video game.Teach them to do stuff the hard way. Instead of the easy way.

  • I LOVE it! lol

  • If it bothers you that your daughter got used to ipad, I think it wasn't a good idea to let her grow with one in her hands

  • lol wut

  • Steve Jobs doesnt know shit about code. Some other people fuck up your kid. sorry about that

  • What are with all the super serious comments on this video?

  • I thought making an ipad ap of the picture book my daughters made was a little useless because not too many preschoolers use ipads. Obviously I was wrong. Get The World Upside Down for your toddler. She can listen to the funny, imaginative story or learn to read along with it.

  • Comment removed

  • Blaming Steve Jobs for your child doing something that is average for her age is ridiculous. Along with blaming him for you presenting the iPad to your child as a toy. It's not his creation that created behaviour you are identifying as bad when it's normal.

  • @ladyaurora1ca He's not blaming Jobs moron, that's why he put "humble tribute". Seriously, you are that stupid?

  • Your child is behaving like a normal one year old. The iPad has bright colours and flashing lights. Of course it's more instantly gratifying. However, your child grabbing at pictures on a magazine page and a perfume sample are perfectly normal. Same behaviour my children showed when they were that age, 10 and 11 years ago, before the iPad came into being. She's being tactile. You're being reactionary.

  • @ladyaurora1ca Look out, it's the designated driver come to turn the music down.

  • @ladyaurora1ca

    I think the creator is just trying to make a cool video.

  • I believe it says too if I have read it online that 2 hours of computer/screen/movie time is appropriate for a 4-10 year old. I was well under that limit in childhood. jr. high and high school was alot worse but nothing worse than most people my age. It doesn't say constantly give access to computers or your kid will be stunted. People overexaggerate the ill effects of not doing stuff and then it doesn't bug people like it does me to see a 1 year old actually wrapped up in a IPAD! LOL!

  • I got a response back from talking about stuff that I said about this post and it said that I was stifling innovation. Apparently I need to catch up with technological times. and if this about little kids doing computer stuff I am literate at computer stuff as most typical 30 year olds the difference is that as a kid I didn't play with computer related stuff. I guess I am basically not as caught up with the technological times I think I am. I do think there is a young limit to tech stuff tho.

  • @AnneLiesveld I thought I said (about 4 lines in) that I didn't play with computer stuff UNTIL I was almost 12 years old. I think most of what seems wierd to me is that old era toys (what my 60 year old mom played with) basically were my childhood toys and those seemed to be getting dropped out of toys stores because some new computer thing will make learning innovative. So much for coloring books and crayons and lite brites and simple outside toys. Apparently those aren't cool enough anymore.

  • @AnneLiesveld They aren't cool enough anymore.

  • Oh the terror! The children of today will tomorrow read and educate themselves through devices instead of having to cut down billions of trees to do so!

  • how can babies learn how to use their fingers, etc. when all they know how to do is push buttons?

  • I have been taking a human development course and we have been learning about environmental factors in development. Babies develop better in stimulating environments and that means not put your baby in front of an iPad. iPads are not good for babies - it will make them dumber not smarter and you need to learn with real world objects, not virtual objects.

  • well, that's because we had let our child play those smart-stuff too early

    we should give them a healthy life, playing at outdoor, with toys, with other child, perhaps

  • fuck Jobs

  • Correction: The video shows how magazines are now useless and impossible to understand, for babies.

  • Radiation? Hello? Anybody home? The iPad uses no CRT display.

  • The iPad is *the* device to give to someone for reading a book. This is just one way the world is changing. E-books. People will read more using iPads from now on, and rely less on paper.

    And the parents are no retards for giving an iPad to a kid. The iPad *is* an educational toy *and* a book reader. What's wrong with you people?

    Of course the baby is the most important person. It represents the promise of the next generation, and unequivocally, she is the most important person to her parents.

  • Of course babies find the brilliant colors of the screen very stimulating. They also find the brilliant colors of the magazine very stimulating as well. No difference, except for the light type. Additive vs. subtractive color.

    It has a lot to do with Steve Jobs and how his vision changed our lives. The baby clearly points to the magazine icons not just for the sake of pointing, but expecting them to work just like the icons on the iPad display, i.e., respond to the touch.

  • Its not the IPads that are ruining kids...is retards like this kid's parents, who give babies such things instead of an educational toy or a book.

  • u should not give a bady ipad when he want to read book

  • Must be your first child, or you are just dense. Babies squeeze, scratch, touch smell and try to taste darn near everything in the first couple of years of their lives. Its almost creepy that you tried to bring Apple and Steve Jobs into this the way you did. Gives me the shivers.

  • typical Apple fanboy.

  • Oh... and come to think about it, why would you expose your precious baby's eyes and brain to the radiation of an iPad - it's literally 10cm away from her face. You have shown nothing here but really bad parenting and a really weird point of view. Terrible.

  • @perthamy "Radiation" hahaahahahahaha

  • @perthamy That is not the case. Only large, box-type monitors and TVs (cathode ray tubes) give off that kind of radiation.

  • How is a baby the most important person? That's a really stupid thing to say.

    You sound like the people featured on stfuparentsblog.

  • Sad

  • cute and smart little girl.... encourage the books too!

  • You could 'teach' your child how to read and otherwise use a magazine.  Novel concept.

  • So this video is to acknowledge your child lack basic human motor skills?

  • Lol.Cute.

    As much as it would be great for trees all around the globe to go all the way with computers,once the batery starts failing on you,you realize how useless is not to have access to paperback books&magazines.

    Both have their advantegess and disadvantegess.

    Both have their place among us,now and it to the future.

    But in all seriousnuss we did just fine for several thousands of years with just paperback.

  • FAKE! but still so adorably cute I wanna cry :)

  • *cough* u r the one that passes the iPad to ur baby, don blame Jobs.......

    and that hows babies learn, via interesting visuals and sounds..

    u can't pass ur baby a copy of "War and Peace" and expect him or her to find it interesting..

    word of advice, bring ur baby out to the great outdoors.

  • what is this world going to...

  • i dont own an ipod i own a computer

  • All the comments on here annoy me. I'm sure that I can safely say the majority of the people ranting here probably own an apple iOS device anyway.

  • @mattutubematt Nope. Although I do have a nephew who is so technological at 6 (now 7) that he is shocked that my younger cousin (13) has had a cell phone for a while and I (as an adult) don't! So much need to "call away from home" OMG I was almost done with high school before I had a computer. and besides your point is moot to me about a 1 year old doing things on a apple device vs. me owning one. that is a choice that is different because I am a adult she is a 1 year old.

  • 'Steve Jobs has coded part of her OS' No you stupidly gave your 1 year old an ipad.

  • This is nonsense...

  • Ipads will be a thing of the past before her tenth birthday, books wont in her lifetime.

  • Interacting with 2-D spatial representations is easier than processing language encoded as text--I'm guessing the latter task is not yet within this infant's grasp. But it is dangerous to think that her intuitive manipulation of these representations on a screen somehow makes the linguistic task obsolete; the effects of such a misconception can be partly gleaned by the degree of comprehensibility of some of these comments.

  • "Remain so her whole life."

    Sooner or later you'll put her into the mentality that a BOOK will be a broken iPad. And you wanna know the difference between me and her in 20 years? Between the digital where instant "updates" in editions can easily manipulate the general populace and distort reality as we know it into a foul, vile Frankenstein's monster. And the difference will be that I'll be able to see the monster for what it is, where your precious little daughter will see nothing wrong.

  • No matter how much technology progresses, truth will always be a pristine, reflecting pool that, through advances in scientific research and discovery, we gain a greater perspective of. It is this kind of dependence on technology, as fascinating as it is, that makes it easier for people to distort it.

    A reflecting pool without ripples? Nah, that's just an outdated, inferior, INSIGNIFICANT version of a regular reflecting pool. 1+1=2 is an inferior 1+1=1. A is an inferior B. This is true madness.

  • All the outrage about this misses the point. To an adult, ipads & computers are a new incursion on our traditional way of accessing information. For a baby books and computers are both new & computers are a damn sight more intuitive and accessible. Of course reading is important, but is there anything wrong with making it interesting & fun? The best learning is interactive. That's why we learn better from people than from books. Interactive media can be a step in between.

  • @lexlanguk Computers aren't thought of as accesible to a 1 year old. My nephew was 4.5 before I considered and then SLOWLY gave him responsibility to access a computer without my doing much supervising except for being in the room to play online games. and that is RARELY used now a days by him. can't imagine too much ipod and computer time for a 1 year old. can't imagine my 19 month old (almost) niece sitting long enough to sit and play a i-pad game

  • Teach her to also love books and reading in general. Otherwise she'll be playing Angry Birds when she should be READING. She'll also have a natural disinterest for anything NOT on that iPad, including social interaction, in person. You can't touch and swipe during a conversation in real life. But hey, you're the parent. Congrats!

  • all I see is a bored child being told what to do to make a 'funny' youtube vid.

    This reason alone is why so many complain. Then again - the iPad is our re-invention of the magazine which loathes to be compared to the book - lest anyone contemplate why the two are made from paper. Raise your child to be a mindless consumerist drone. War is peace, happiness in slavery and pizza is a vegetable.

  • This is hilarious - good work

  • well whose fault is it? Steve Jobs or you the parent who let your child play with the iPad. I am an early childhood educator and having screen time at such a young age is not a very good idea

  • I saw a 1 year hold holding a Iphone and playing a touch game. The baby didn't know what to do but she kept touching the Menu screen with the same finger trying to start it.

  • lol this is so cute.why are you idiots complaining about a baby playing with an ipad??i swear,people fight over the dumbest crap.

  • @FightsRightsAlways cuz old fashioned people like me like kids looking at books and things that are so much less modern than a 5 year old playing on computeres 24/7. course then i am fighting that battle constantly with my nephew. Got him to 6/7 without much technology access. constantly trying to encourage creative/fun/play activitiy ideas until he is 11/12 years old minimum.

  • @AnneLiesveld lol and i'm with you.this whole, let's get rid of paper back books and head for a world depending on nothing but computers,is pretty alarming.i think some people just don't understand how great of an affect that introducing technology at such a young age can truly have.but i still think that this is cute,what some parents do,is their own business,even if it's not the best thing.i just don't think that a federal case shouldn't be made.

  • are mabye its YOUR fault letting it use a ipod

  • Our kids are the same; they grew up with iPhones and iPads and they just didn't get why the TV isn't responding to them as they try to move it by touching it... another example of how watching kids, the true innovators, can lead us to smarter and more convenient solutions.

  • This is funny saw it on the news ....lol kids have fun with ipads learning games and stuff so it isn't all bad :)

  • Comment removed

  • @achatzb I saw those studies... They are not in any way conclusive... I read some of the papers... and they make shitty conclusions on lame correlations... And indeed technology is great and can be very harmful... but that's not a good argument about limiting technology... it is a good argument on how to properly use it...

  • @zeramino It is different moment in time... You don't go out and hunt for food... So in that sense you are a lot more lazy than the cavemen... That's stupid... Technology does not make us lazy... It surely saves time and effort that can be used to do much better things... While on elementary school you were learning addition and substraction, these kids will be able to do amazing stuff with the hel of technology... So think twice before trying to go back to the "good old times"...

  • kids and computers are nothing new. what the little girl is doing with the magazine and the iPad are the same. The problem thats going now is the computer industry makes you feel stupid if you do not have one of these devices for your child. After 10 years of study of kids and computers in the classroom no one is getting smarter. Actually they are getting dumber, computers are a distraction. What Apple and google are trying to do is sell you a vending machine not a good teacher.

  • @estern53

    Flynn effect

  • Unno..its amazing how she just doesnt know how to turn the page.... Amazing..yet scary..

  • This is an one year old girl you know, this isn't a scientific experiment...

  • While taking a CS class there was an article we came across which discussed the ever-changing technologies. The fact is that humans are now trying to think like we are computers. However you must realize the brain is different from computers. In the AI field computer scientists have been trying to create human-like machines. But no matter, that fact remains that machines "see" or calculate the world in an entirely different matter than humans. Your child doesn't have an OS and is not coded.

  • I get the idea behind this video, but why would this be blamed on Steve Jobs? YOU are the one who put put an iPad--meant for adults and older children with an understanding of the world around them--in the hands of a one-year-old, instead of sitting down and playing games or reading a book to her.

  • WOW LENGTHY DEBATE TROLOLOL WAKAWAKA

  • This video would be cute if not the hoity-toity comment beneath. The kid is pointing stuff to see what happens. This is a typical behavior of a typical child at a certain developmental stage and has nothing to do with Steve Jobs and iPad. Babies of all eras put their fingers on EVERYTHING. This is why we have outlet covers and Fisher-Price talking&singing toys. They learn things react to touch many different ways and some do not react at all. Changed OS? Much ado about nothing.

  • @pierszalepsza Yes, what the "hoity-toity comment" says is untrue because what he describes has happened to every infant for thousands of years.

    Did you even think your comment THROUGH, piers?

  • Comment removed

  • Kun on tarpeeksi tekniikan kanssa tekemisissä toi lapsi varmaan aikanaan oppii, että videon voi myös kääntää oikein päin latauksen jälkeen.

  • The video was fun! The sad part is crediting a techno-revolution to Steve Jobs. Many many more people are a part of, and are significant contributors to these changes. With all our progress, we still seek heroes rather than credit collaborators and cherish that so many are overlooked for their efforts (again)!

  • Perhaps, babies find the brilliant colors of the screen very stimulating.

  • how cute is it..... :D

  • Pointing at an object is part of our neurochemistry and is millions of years old. Had we pointed at food and not gone to hunt for it we not not be here today. Technology making our lives easier combined with a diet that consists of pointing at menus is the leading contributor in the epidemic that is obesity. You are contributing to this epidemic. I would love to know your body fat mass index.

  • Um. You must not think much of her intelligence if you think she's going to think that FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. Shell figure it out in like 2 years. Calm down.

  • I like the video, your baby girl is so cute!

    And what's the deal with all these hate comments? People can't even sit down and enjoy a video these days and age without bashing it at the comment section. Oh well, haters gonna hate, I guess.

  • I like the comments!

  • um, steve jobs didn't do this, YOU did. there is plenty of room in her world for both media, but of course, she'll prefer the one that flashes and makes sounds as long as it is accessible to her.

    

  • Interesting video (would like more, professional, psychological studies seen on this), yet bet that iPad will be broken soon, compared to a magazine that just loses a printed page.

  • Steve Jobs has never coded anything.

  • @mikeabundo the American Pediatric Association recommends ZERO screen time for kids under 2 years of age. Furthermore, a study by Pempek et al. (2010) shows that infants under 18 months do not process video the same way as 18+ month olds. The science backs up the "technophobic luddites" in this case.

  • Give the Kid a GOOD magazine:)

  • It's hilarious to me that everyone is complaining about technology replacing something they perceive to be more real such as words on traditional paper. Folks where do you think books, magazines and even paper itself came from? Have we had those things since the start of time? No! They were all invented and were cutting edge technologies at one point. So cry all you want over paper. But "you can't stop progress," which is the same thing Gutenberg was probably thinking...

  • My cousin who's never seen an iPad does this...they're figuring out sensory input, not trying to make the pictures in a magazine move. This is basic child behavior.

  • @3SunkenSchooners Thank you i was going to say the same thing. Just cause a child touches an ipad, and notices movement, and then happens to touch books in the same way, doesnt mean she is trying to make the pictures move... My little sister also does all of this, minus the ipad. its the same with a tv, just cause a child happens to find the power button on a couple tv's doesnt mean it understands what there doing, nor do they even understand how to replicate it.

  • not everyone can afford an iPad . . . everyone can afford a magazine or a newspaper. You can put scratch and sniff in a magazine. You can't put scratch and sniff in an iPad. I would love a smart phone but my wallet won't allow me to pay that much for monthly service and high speen internet at home.... not to mention the unreasonable price of a "smart" phone. You're gonna be really sad when the whole internet system fails and you don't know how to use a magazine.

  • Give her both types of media and she'll learn the differences. No worries. As humans we don't have set OSs.

    Also am I the only one who noticed the fact that she was trying to pick up what looked like a piece of paper, but was really part of a photograph? The kid's exploring her world. Let her at it!

  • Yeah technology is great and everything, and i know this kid's incredibly young, but the idea that she, and many other children, will be dependent on technology and dismiss a physical book or magazine frightens me. i guess i'm a bit of a technophobe, because as a traditional illustrator graduating this year, i am terrified i will have very little future in the illustrative arts if we consider to wiped out.

  • @xflashahh consider? wtf continue to be *

  • @xflashahh I continue to get regular picture books at the library constantly with my nephew. Yes, I do let him look at my dad's i-pad every once in a while, but I do the majority of regular books. I also play i-pad checkers but also play regular with him. I also play connect four, tick tack stack (a new tick tack toe like game), uno, skip bo and many other board games as well as craft books and I am trying to get him back into a former love of learning coloring books.

  • You'd think the kid would at LEAST have figured how to flip the video the right way up before putting it online. Sheesh. My neck.

  • This is amazing that this smart young child embraces tech...my baby boomer parents cringe and go hide in the corner when any type of technology like an ipad or smartphone gets within 15 feet of them.

  • @BeeJayCee3 My parents don't cringe at their ipad but I am glad you see it as normal that a 1 year old is playing with essentially a computer. so much for kids playing with toys like they used to.

  • The number of technophobic luddites in this thread is astonishing. This kid's ahead of the curve, and that scares people who've grown attached to their dead-tree media.

  • Comment removed

  • @mikeabundo You are the only one comment that I can respond to... I think she is not even ahead of the curve, she is just indicating that there is a curve, and that it is very steep. Her behaviour on all other matters is perfectly standard. The problem is not with her, but with media obsolescence ;-)

  • @mikeabundo I am not afraid of technology I just know that a 1 year old can be without technology. I was 10 (around there) the first time I did computers, 12-14 with game boy and high school before I was given technology as a gift. I see no purpose for a 1 year old to spend more than a few minutes on a i-pad (my nephew who is 7 is SERIOUSLy limited in how much time he spends so that show you how necessarily needed it is in the life of a 1 year old.

  • Is that an Ipad NOPE chuck testa

  • Technology = Laziness

  • A child is an adult that does not work right - Unless you raise her correctly!

  • I see the world burning.

  • Well, if a one year old can understand how to read a magazine; I'd be amazed, too.
