It is strange! Right after the incident in the previous blog, I went to pick up a friend in an engineering firm.
While I was waiting for her to pack her stuff up, the boss' two daughters walked out to the reception area. Child number one sat down next to me, immediately engrossed in a game in her I-phone. Child number two struggled with the heavy swinging door and being small and weak, she had to brace herself and pushed the heavy door. In the process of struggling, the I-pad in her hand fell to the wooden floor with a thud.
The two sisters tried to restart the gadget but failed. In turn it became the headache of the receptionist. The receptionist could hardly help, so she called for the help of the IT consultant. Meanwhile an IT savvy colleague trouble shot and concluded that it still worked but the on-off button was temperamental.
Mind you, this particular I-pad was only a few days old! Was it just co-incidence? Are all children from age 1-8 given such delicate instruments to play with?What happened to the old fashion toys? Parents are just too busy making money to buy expensive and inappropriate toys for their children to play!
