How will Yea Forums recover from this?
PAAAAAWNCH!
Recover from what? Future?
Past can't be recovered.
I feel like it's almost been a year since I last saw this posted on Yea Forums.
Children can't even hold pencils properly because parents just let tablets do the parenting.
How many technologies before your time did you instinctively understand at first use at her age? Seriously.

I read that as water and laffed.

That's depressing.
I have seen freshly retired dad try the same on an analog senior phone(not his) after having used a smart phone for several years. It's not a generation thing.
niggers tongue my anyoos
my parents didn't buy me nintendo shit so I'll cope in my house without a single funko-pop
No? But I knew this Otaku girl that borrowed my DS and the retard kept tapping the top screen.
if the hand grip thing interests you look into people who have never worn shoes and those who have
should have socked that bitch, it would be entirely justified

Nice.
>held pencils correct my whole life but still managed to produce nothing but chicken scratch anyway
I did, not because I thought it was a touchscreen though
>Implying kids didn’t do this even when touch screens weren’t around
Posture and positioning wont help shit if you are bereft of creativity.
Good thing pencils are unnecessary relics of the past
I'm talking about my handwriting.

The only thing that took me a some time was a PC.
Huh, so I've never used pencils completely right.
Creativity is developed by practice and learning.
Eh, most people have terrible handwriting but there are so few standards for it. Especially if you're American.
It's terrifying to think I share a board with people who think those technologies are "before their time". Were you born in the fucking early 00s or something?
Tech that's actually before your time is shit like record players and reel to reel machines. Maybe rotary phones.
Two things:
1.) That child is having fun regardless, because they look to be about 2 years old. You could hand a kid a controller with no batteries and they will stare at Peppa Pig and thing they're controlling it.
2.) It's mildly annoying to teach a child how to use physicaly buttons, but nowhere near impossible. The adults who gave that child a Game Boy have made absolutely no attempt at teaching what the buttons do. My two year old niece, after patient trial and error, has a vague idea that the buttons on the left are for movement and the buttons on the right are for actions. She is able to navigate through the switch palaces in Super Mario World on her own, and by the time she is three she will likely be able to beat certain levels on her own. She has more trouble understanding dual-stick controllers, making Super Mario Odyssey virtually impossible. And yet she is still happy to play Odyssey for the couple of minutes that she can and she is eager to learn because I remain patient and keep the activity engaging and fun for her.
AKA, be a goddamn parental guardian. There is nothing built-in to kids that makes them automatically hate old shit. If you treat old shit like something weird, then they will learn from you and not really be interested. If you treat old shit like something cool, they will learn from you and want to be cool. I showed my nephew the silent film Nosferatu and the 1930s King Kong as well as old Vincent Price movies when he was three. He loved all of it, because I made sure to present them as though they were worth his time. It's never the child's fault that they grow up liking modern bullshit.
