Generation iPad

With all the technology being produced today, and the readiness with which it's being marketed, it's no surprise that kids have become a large portion of the consumers. I mean, a young customer is a customer for life, right? The effects of today's technology-obsessed children haven't been lost on me. As soon as I walk in the door and greet the kids I babysit for, they scream, "Can we play with your phone?!" Now, I love my Blackberry Torch too, but when I was eight, I couldn't have cared less. I didn't even get a cell phone until I was fourteen, and here I have a nine year old inputting her contact info. My aunt just got a Macbook Air, and not only do her kids use it more than her, but they know how to work it better. My twelve year old cousin just got an iPad for her birthday. When I was a kid, we could only spend half an hour a day on the computer that my entire family shared. I hardly watched TV except cartoons on Sunday mornings, and I listened to the only two CD's I had on an outdated CD player.
