Today Cnet reported that a 12 year old boy found an iphone flaw while texting his girlfriend. A lot of people were interested to read about the flaw and how to fix it, but read the first sentence again…”a 12 year old boy found an iphone flaw while texting his girlfriend.” Did you have a cell phone or a girlfriend when you were 12 years old?
Sure it’s great that the kid found a flaw in the new phone but I think what really matters here is that the younger age groups are really starting to make a push for technology. It almost feels like kids are maturing faster into becoming little adults. 100 years from now we’re going to have 12 year old software engineers and developers running the fortune 100 companies out there. I mean, a 12 year old with an iphone…really? (let alone a girlfriend).
What’s even more interesting is that nobody is really talking about the fact that the person who found this flaw happened to be 12 years old! Are we beginning to see technology and gadgets become even more main stream? As one of my twitter followers pointed out earlier today, when he was 12 years old phones were made of candy…now 12 year olds are running around with iphones… what ever happened to going outside to play?
You tell me, what do you think about this? Does it matter/should we care?
thanks for reading
