I haven't gone so far as to do it physically, but I have felt the subconscious niggle to pinch-zoom something in a magazine a little while after a heavy browse of tumblr or ffffound... Very odd & disconcerting.

#63My kid tries to pinch zoom everything. Laptops, books, television remotes.
Hey, my gf (25yo, ph.d in medecine), sometime try to zoom by pinching my macbook screen.. it takes 1-2 secs for her to realize "oh right, this is not the ipad". We always laugh of these moments :D To be honest, I'm surprised there's not more touchscreen a little bit everywhere. I.e. On the coffeemachine, microwave, etc. It makes it so damn easier as you're not forced to use 1 interface to cover all use cases.. you ca…
Wait for the next macbook. Then it'll work.

#64Ready for oblivion: once I had a (sleeping)dream that I was using the mouse to touch and move things in my room.

#65As a parent, I would be very wary of exposing a child that small to any screen for extended periods of time.
As a soon-to-be-parent: why?

#67What does a one-year old do on an iPad (or other tablet for that matter)? For those who are parents--are there certain apps/games you let your young ones play around on? Or, is the behavior demonstrated by the child in the video learned primarily by way of observation?
Look up an app called "Rattle". My kid figured that one out at six weeks.
Also, "pocket pond" style things work pretty well with infants. Basically anything where stuff happens when you touch the screen. Though it helps to pick apps where it's difficult to pull up blocking menus. It's amazing how quickly a random-clicking toddler will find his way to the purchase screen in the App Store in most apps.

#68Pointing, swiping and pinching is perfectly normal for a 1 year old. It has nothing to do with touhcscreens.

I think because "screens" are 2-D and little kids need to learn that things are 3-D. Also, screens don't have texture. Everything on a screen is artificial, which is fine once you understand what it is trying to represent, but not before.

The best part of this was when she tested to see if her finger was still working. This kid is awesome.
We're all born scientists. Then religion and TV happen.
I like that a lot. I think TV is like fiction in book form, it has it's benefits and it's evils but nonetheless, I really like that.
