Technology has created a huge impact in our lives. Young people pick up technology more easily than the older ones. The younger they are, the more savvy they are with technology, whether it is a computer, mobile phone, television, radio, or laptops.
The most popular electronic device among the people now is the iPhone by Apple. Everyone wants an iPhone. It includes the function of a mobile phone, computer and GPS (Global Positioning System). It's graphics are also one of it's selling point.
So, over the Chinese New Year holidays, I went back to my dad's hometown in Melaka and had reunion dinner together with all my relatives. Three of my cousins are using iPhone, as well as my parents. My cousin, Kelvin and his wife, Irene are both using iPhones. The thing that surprised me was that their 3 year old daughter, Krystal was asking for the iPhone to play games. She was so savvy using the iPhone, that she never needed instructions on where to click, in this case 'tap'. As they wanted to leave, Krystal was craving for more cookies, but her mom didn't allow her to have anymore as she had a lot. She was insisting of bringing the cookies back with her. But as soon as she heard her mom saying, "Come, let's go home. Don't want the cookie, I let you play with my iPhone." The moment she heard that, she immediately stopped craving for the cookie and went into the car to get the iPhone from her mom.
The next day, we met again. When Krystal arrived, I was texting using my mobile phone. (FYI, it's not an iPhone). She spotted me with my mobile and sat beside me, asking for me mobile. So, I passed it to her. It's her first time using this phone, so she was asking me to open it for her. I showed her some pictures and the next thing you know, she was able to navigate the phone! Another blink of an eye, she was taking pictures with my mobile phone! Moreover, the pictures she took aren't amateur at all! She knew how to focus and where to click without being taught. The aunties were so impressed that they kept asking her to take a picture of this uncle and that aunty. And she did! Not bad at all, I would say. Everyone was impressed with her photography skills. It doesn't look like a 3 year old snapping pictures at all.
This is Krystal browsing pictures on my mobile phone.
