Let your kid play with your iPad. It'll be fun.
Tod Lappin shared a brief video of his 2-1/2 year-old daughter playing with an iPad with Laughing Squid readers. And now, I'm sharing it with you.
That's his daughter, of course, the same one who gets to play with his iPhone.
At the end of the clip you can hear her say "I did it! I did it!" Which, of course, is what this is all about, this iPad - an invitation to delight, a gateway to accomplishment.
No, I don't think anyone's recommending that you buy one for your precocious preschooler. But I do think that the clip gives us a very clear insight into what makes the iPad such a noteworthy technology. It's what Apple has been about since its inception. The accessibility of it all.
