2 Year Old Computer Whiz

Published by Shane at 2:06 am under Family

My 2 year old, he has a favourite website.

The funny thing is, neither my wife nor I knew how to get to it, until we spied on the little blighter.

We watched him climb into the computer chair and take up the mouse. He proceeded to mess with my desktop, clicking and dragging icons into a cryptic pattern only explainable by chaos theory or a toddler’s imagination.

Then it started.

He clicked on Start.

Then on All Programs.

Then he went to the second column of installed applications and selected “Internet Explorer”.

Then when the default homepage opened (http://canoe.ca), he clicked on the HOROSCOPE button?

Then on the left, what do you know. There was a kids’ website button. Clicky clicky, and there he was!

When my wife explained what he was doing on the phone to me, I literally burst into gales of laughter, and my carpool very nearly panicked as I was wracked and paralyzed while whipping along at 60km/h.

Then I got home and watched him do it again. This ain’t random chance, folks. And he taught himself to do it.

Astounding. I know adults that couldn’t find anything under Start without 8 pages of instructions.
