My baby wants to play with my notebook compueter....

  • Article

I have a daughter who is 14 month old now.

From few months ago, suddenly she started to play with my notebook computer. so whenever I turn it on, she comes to me and just stare at me with hopeful eyes asking me to put her up on my lap and let her play with my notebook. well... I'm not sure whether it is good for eyes and developement. but what I can see is that she loves to mimic what I do normally. so I'd better be good role model for her to follow.

Anyway, back to what I want to say, sometimes I'm really supprised by what she did on the machine. sometimes, she turned it off with proper key sequences and sometimes she launched several apps and play with them. and does many interesting things. I know it just happens by chance because she always just smashes keyboard with her little hands. but it is still amazing to see the result. :)

    My son is also playing with my notebook and sometimes with my iPAQ 2210. He knows how to open "notice" and to draw some lines...

    I wonder if theres any pattern to how eyes get worse, related to the most common activity performed. So if i spend 15 years staring at monitor, will it more likely cause that i can only see good for shorter distances.

    Probably it's not nearly that simple, but i thought that such certainly could affect partially.

    I started "playing" with computers when I was around 2 or so (I can't really remember) -- ~1983. I never stopped, and now I'm a dev.

    As far as eyesight, well, 19 years staring at a CRT screen has definately done damage. At least kids in this coming generation can be pure LCD or plasma.
