3 year old uses Windows 8 with a regular Mouse on a Desktop computer.

I read these tech pundits and journalists discussing how hard it's gonna be for the general public to learn the new UI of Windows 8. Nonsense. This video (sorry for the poor video quality - I have no proper video equipment whatsoever) is my response to such pessimism.

For the record, I do whatever I can to keep my boy *off* the computer. We watch some sesame st videos at night and play a game or two during the day. And over the past month that we've had Windows 8 on this computer this is how well he uses it. I could easily teach him some of the even more in depth operations of the system if I didn't think it more important that he interact with the real world.

The long and short of it is: If my 3 years old son can learn Windows 8 through very moderate usage, anybody with half a brain can do so too.

He has pretty good mousing skills for a 3 year old.

I wonder if the 3 year old previously used an iPad, DS, or other type of touchscreen-like device.

How odd, my nephew was over this past week and my mom gave him her kindle to play angry birds and when she came back he had brought up the internet, went to youtube and started to watch videos on youtube about sonic the hedgehog. I talked to my brother and he says he does the same thing on their tablet and just brings up stuff with ease.


The next gen be tech geniuses!

My 4 year old step brother was playing Mario Kart Wii, and winning, at 3. He's been playing games on my phone since he was 2.
