She's called my sister to talk to my 15 month old niece. :) I remember taking computer classes in 2nd grade, and my sister and brother, 4 and 6 years younger than me respectively, started in nursery school, we did not have a computer at home. Of course, that was in the days of Apple IIcs. My sister’s cousin-in-law’s five year old is able to video chat on her parents’ iMac. She’s called my sister to talk to my 15 month old niece. :)

Somehow I suspect these people will still be around. I sometimes still see people flip over and look on the back of the keyboard when I say the first step is to check the nut behind the keyboard.

The part I was always amazed at was how intuitive it was for him to use a mouse. Got it right away, no explanation. I used to teach an intro computer science class and had adults who would point a mouse at the screen like a TV remote when I told them to "just point and click." Amazing, imagine what it will be like for them in 15-20 years.
