New technology
Yesterday I was watching one of my favorite shows called So You Think You Can Dance. A group of us were in my room watching it and the commercials came on. I rarely watch t.v. here because I barely have time for anything and this commercial surprised me. It was a commercial for the iPhone. Usually that would be a little boring considering I don't want one but it was really interesting. At the end of the commercial and the end of showing all the new applications the user could have, it showed an application for babies to use. It was for helping them improve their skills using the iPhone. But really, do babies use iPhones? Maybe their parents would have one but if my child was little I would not be giving them my iPhone to use as a skill builder. I don't know if that is crazy but with all this new technology, where does it stop? There seems to be something new to buy everyday but do we really need it? I think some of the new technology is pointless, so next time when you buy something think if u really need it. Is it an application for your child who is two years old to use?

Even though some people deny it, technology is taking over our education system. I haven't seen this commercial yet but it sounds interesting. I can say that I have an iPhone, and I do not see how a baby would be able to work it when it took me awhile. Technology is something that children are starting to learn how to work at a very young age. I am surprised about this commercial, but am not shocked due to the amount of technology that is being influenceing society every day.
