My 4 year old was able to unlock my iPhone at 1.5 years old. He has grown up with an iOS device in the house. It is crazy on how intuitive these touch devices are. As you can see in this YouTube clip, this 1 year old tries to get the old-school magazine to do things it “should” do when compared to the iPad. My two favorite moments are when she tries to get the page to stay down, and when she tries to pinch-zoom on a graphic in the magazine.
It goes without saying that this is the future of print media. What it means more to me, is how does this effect the way the future generation thinks and interacts with objects in every day life. Objects will start being viewed a multi-demenional, with the expectation they do more than face value. As if things become one large swiss army knife. This will definitely hold true to electronics, but what other things will be consolidated?
