This video shows a one-year-old baby confronted with a print magazine after having been exposed to an iPad her whole. Possibly the greatest tribute to Steve Jobs so far.
The creator of the video suggests this baby has learned that pictures can be zoomed in with that pinch gesture, and cannot understand why the same gesture doesn’t work on ordinary paper.
There are people countering this suggestion by stating that babies have been doing this for years. Perhaps they have, but even that shows how genius a product the iPad is, because it taps into nature.
The fact is technology hasn’t always felt natural, which is why we’ve had to learn how to use it. But Apple has helped transform that, and with touchscreens the way we interact with technology now just feels right.
