Technology Girl

When I picked up Lydia at child care yesterday, they were settling in to watch a DVD.  The owner's husband was trying to get it to work, and I saw Lydia talking with him and pointing out the buttons.  He turned to the DVD player, pushed a button, and I heard him say "Thanks, Lydia!  That was the button!"

I called out to her just then, and she came running to meet me.  He turned and said "She just helped me out!  I had no idea which button to press to make this work, but she did!"

It made me chuckle, and wonder what the future holds for all the kids this age.  Lydia is proficient with so many different pieces of technology, that I am confident that they will seamlessly fit into her life throughout her life.  It also makes me wonder what we'll see in the next 40 years?!
